The selection of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the T20I team shocked Deep Dasgupta. Since India’s 10-wicket loss to England in the 2022 World Cup semi-final, Kohli and Rohit have not participated in Twenty20 International matches for the team.
They offered to play in the shortest format once more. But there were doubts as to whether the two should be included in India’s T20 World Cup preparations.

That being said, Rohit and Kohli’s pick for the Afghanistan series ensures they will be present in the June showcase match.
Deep Dasgupta said, “India went returned to square one, rendering no sense of every move it made over the past year”.
Dasgupta went on to say that the Indian playing XI will now look like the team that lost badly to England in the last T20 World Cup.
In addition to being added back into the team, Rohit was tasked with leading the team in the three-match series that begins on Thursday against Afghanistan.
Since winning the first T20 World Cup in 2007, Team India has had difficulty competing. In the last seven tournaments, they have only made it to the final once.
According to Deep Dasgupta, someone like Rinku Singh could have missed out on making the playing XI for the T20 World Cup due to the comeback of Rohit and Kohli.
“There will be a loss for someone like Rinku Singh,” Deep Dasgupta remarked.
According to Deep Dasgupta, someone like Rinku Singh could have missed out on making the playing XI for the T20 World Cup due to the comeback of Rohit and Kohli.
With an average of 65.50 and a strike rate of 180.68 in 12 Twenty20 Internationals, Rinku has had an incredible start to his international career. However, India may have an abundance of options in the middle order with the return of Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya during the IPL.
Since making his debut against Ireland in August of last year, Rinku has performed flawlessly in the role of the finisher.
India’s final Twenty20 International match before the West Indies and United States of America World Cup is the Afghanistan series.
