Virat Kohli - Not in the Playing XI - IND vs AFG First T20I - Afghanistan Tour of India 2024
What! Virat Kohli is not in the playing XI for the first match of the T20 Series in the Afghanistan Tour of India 2024. Can Afghanistan make the most of this chance?
These three T20I matches in the Afghanistan Tour of India 2024 are important for India as this is the last T20 contest the team will be playing before the T20 World Cup 2024. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were named in the playing XI for the three-match series, but Kohli is not playing the first match.
What’s the Reason?
The head coach of the Indian Team, Rahul Dravid confirmed during the press conference that Virat Kohli will be missing the first match of the series due to personal reasons. But there is good news for Kohli’s fans, he will be available for selection in the 2nd & 3rd T20I matches.
Who Will Open with Rohit Sharma?
Virat Kohli is currently unavailable. Yashasvi Jaiswal will start alongside skipper Rohit Sharma. Even though Virat Kohli has been added to the T20I squad for the upcoming ICC World T20, Indian fans will have to wait for the former India skipper's return as the seasoned batter is unavailable for selection on Thursday.
Let’s see if Afghanistan can cash out this opportunity as India could be missing a lot due to Kohli’s unavailability.
