Why return of Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma in T20Is could be a step backward?
“It’s going to be important, but for someone like Virat and Rohit you can’t decide their future based on IPL to a certain extent , and I am sure that Virat will score 500+ runs. He scores 500-600 runs, even if the season is too bad. It will be interesting to see Rohit this season because he is not leading Mumbai Indians, so it will be a different kind of role for Rohit,” Deep Dasgupta told Star Sports.
“I feel that in spite of all the discussions, the squad for WC is 90-95% final and the playing 11 is 99% final, because I don’t think that both will score runs in the IPL. Another important thing is captaincy because this format is captaincy-based. It’s almost fixed that Rohit will be leading as the captain in the WC because he is leading, which is supposed to be the last schedule of the series,” Deep concluded.
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returned to the India Cricket Team for the IND vs AFG series. With Rohit back, it is expected that he will be ready and the ideal player to lead the Men in Blue in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
