Last time when India had played the event, Virat Kohli was the full-time captain of team India in all the three formats but had opted out from participating in the contest.

Just to ensure that they put a strong eleven on the field for the World Cup, the Indian team management is trying and testing a certain group of players who can help and enhance the quality of the team.

Rohit is set to lead India in the upcoming T20 World Cup but before that, they have the Asia Cup to deal with as well.

There were various reports surrounding Rohit Sharma and the breaks that he wanted, but putting all the speculations to rest, the BCCI in an announcement on July 14, 2022, confirmed that the Indian skipper will join the squad and will lead them in the five match T20I series.

After their series win, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said that there are "some solid guys" waiting in the wings who could have easily walked into any international side but said his team will need to improve further moving ahead.

Apart from sharing the Indian dressing room, both Rohit and Suryakumar represented Mumbai in domestic cricket and play for the same IPL side, Mumbai Indians.

Kohli is going through a rough patch in his career. He is struggling to score runs. Making a comeback after sitting out the first ODI because of a groin injury, Kohli was sent back to the hut after striking three boundaries at Lord's in the 2nd ODI.

The skipper of India Rohit Sharma showed positive glimpses of his return to form as he smashed 76* off 58 balls with 6 fours and 5 sixes at the strike rate of 131.03 as he saw India home without any casualties.

The BCCI earlier today named the Indian squad for their ODI tour to the West Indies and what caught eyeballs was that Rohit Sharma was again handed over rest and Shikhar Dhawan has been named as the captain of the Indian team.

Rishabh Pant has raced way ahead of former India skipper Virat Kohli who dropped out of top 10 for the first time since 2016.

It is now learned that the Indian skipper has tested negative and is out of isolation. Rohit is all set to join the Indian squad now. 

When India landed in the United Kingdom for their limited over series and the one-off Test match, captain Rohit Sharma was expected to be a part of the final playing eleven in all seven matches, but unfortunately, the Indian skipper went down with COVID-19
