The India and South Africa test series ended with the Indian team winning. Now India has to play a series of 3 T20 matches against Afghanistan. This series is going to start on January 11. Before this series, the biggest question in the fans’ minds was whether Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would be seen playing against Afghanistan.
Now, the answer to this question has come. Virat and Rohit Sharma themselves have answered this question. This question is also special because if these greats play against Afghanistan, they will also be seen playing in the T20 World Cup.

Players Not Playing Since World Cup 2023
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have kept their distance from white ball cricket after the ICC World Cup 2023 final match. After the World Cup, India played 5 T20 matches against Australia, after which ODI and T20 cricket were played between India and South Africa.
Still, Virat and Rohit refused to play in both the series. In such a situation, there is a question in the minds of cricket fans whether Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will not be seen playing in the T20 World Cup. Virat and Rohit have given an update on this question.

What Is The Update On Rohit and Virat?
Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can be seen playing in the T20 series against Afghanistan. The legends have updated BCCI that they are ready for selection during the T20 series against Afghanistan. It is being claimed in the Indian Express report that Rohit and Virat Kohli themselves have given this update. Rohit and Virat will be seen playing against Afghanistan in such a situation.
Apart from this, the legends will also be seen playing in the T20 World Cup. This must have brought a chill to the hearts of the fans; the fans had been waiting for a long time for these two players to continue playing white ball cricket.
