A Sharp Take of Wasim Akram's On Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's T20I Future
The discussion about the T20I future of two of the star batsmen of Team India, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, continues to hog the limelight. After the end of India's Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign, the topic is getting more attention. It is worth noting that both the batters have not played a T20I for India since the side's 10-wicket defeat at the hands of England in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in November last year. There is no doubt that the Indian cricket team is looking to include as many youngsters in the T20I team as possible, but the sublime performances of Rohit and Kohli in ODI cricket have kept them in strong contention for the T20 mega event in 2024.
While giving his take on the T20I future of the two players, Pakistani great Wasim Akram said India will need the duo in the T20 World Cup next year.
Wasim Akram said, "The T20 World Cup is just a few months away. I will pick both. They will be the main players for India, no doubt about it. You need a little bit of experience in T20. You cannot solely rely on young guys.”
