Indian Players Set to Make a Comeback in the Afghanistan T20I Series
Excitement Grows as India Begins 2024 Home Season Against Afghanistan in T20I Series.
India is set to kick off its 2024 home season with a crucial three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. This series is vital for Team India as it’s the last T20I challenge before the upcoming T20 World Cup. With key players like Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav out due to injuries, there’s buzz about the return of senior players who have been away from T20I cricket.
The absence of Pandya and Yadav might also lead to a new captain for the series, adding an extra layer of intrigue. The T20Is are scheduled for January 11, 14, and 17. As selectors get ready to announce the squad, all eyes are on three experienced Indian players who could make a comeback for the Afghanistan T20I series.
Rohit Sharma:
After missing all T20Is in 2023, Rohit Sharma, the captain of Team India, is likely to end his break from the shortest format. Sharma played a crucial role in the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning team led by MS Dhoni, and his return could bring valuable experience.Virat Kohli:
Virat Kohli, who focused on ODI and Test cricket, might make a comeback for the Afghanistan series. Despite not playing a T20I for over a year, Kohli’s outstanding form in the 2023 World Cup, where he was the highest run-scorer, makes him a strong contender.KL Rahul:
KL Rahul, absent from T20I cricket since 2022, is another contender for a return. Now playing as a wicketkeeper-batsman, Rahul is expected to contribute as a finisher. With Yashasvi Jaiswal as the opener, Rahul’s versatility and quick batting make him a valuable asset in the middle order.
As we await the squad announcement, the potential return of these senior players adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan.
