latest indian cricket news : Word’s going around that Virat Kohli‘s taking some time off, and Rohit Sharma might fill in for the Sri Lanka ODI series. Now that Gautam Gambhir’s in charge of Indian cricket, there’s worry about whether big players like Rohit, Kohli, and Bumrah will show up. , Gambhir wants them to play since there aren’t many ODI games scheduled before the ICC Champions Trophy in February. After Gambhir’s first meeting with the team, people are saying Rohit might cut his vacation in the US short to join the team in Sri Lanka next month.
Cricbuzz says Gambhir, Agarkar, and Shah talked about team plans and who to pick. India’s gonna play just two ODIs before the Champions Trophy, so it’s super important for Rohit to be there. But we don’t know yet if Rohit’s gonna join the Sri Lanka series or not.
If Rohit decides to play, he’ll lead the team. If not, KL Rahul’s got a good shot at being captain. We don’t think Kohli and Bumrah will play in the ODI series, and there’s no plan for them to come back soon.
Also, word on the street is that Hardik Pandya won’t be in the ODI squad. But he might play in the T20Is, and he could even be the captain there.
