Virat Kohli, who recently smashed a sensational Test century in his 500th international appearance for India, didn’t get to play a single ball in the three-match ODI series.
While his batting position was altered in the first ODI match, the former India captain was subsequently rested in the following two matches alongside captain Rohit Sharma.
Neither Virat Kohli nor Rohit Sharma is part of the India T20I squad, which is gearing up to take on West Indies in the five-match series, starting Thursday, August 3 at Brian Lara Stadium, Trinidad.
Hardik Pandya has been entrusted with the captaincy of the T20I team, and Suryakumar Yadav will serve as his deputy. On the other hand, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have already departed for India.
In recent news, it has been reported that Global Air Charter Services arranged a special flight for Virat Kohli’s trip back to India from the West Indies. Social media is now abuzz with viral pictures of Virat Kohli sitting in that flight.
The likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will now directly be seen in action during the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, with their first match scheduled to be played against their arch-rivals Pakistan on September 2 at Pallekele International Stadium, Sri Lanka.
