IPL 2022, mega auction took place in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13.

It was Rohit's first series as ODI captain.

India and West Indies will lock horns in the third and final ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.

Fakhar Zaman and Joe Root broke into the top 10 of the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings.

The new Indian captain also confirmed that Ishan Kishan will open the innings with him in the first ODI.

Rohit was appointed skipper after Virat Kohli stepped down as captain from T20Is and was removed from the leadership role in ODIs.

Team India are set to play three ODIs at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad from February 6 followed by the T20I series at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata from February 16.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam continue to lead the ICC Men's ODI Player Rankings while South Africa batters Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen have made huge gains in the chart.

However, the team selection meeting, which is set to happen this week, will be an interesting one as some senior players like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravichandran Ashwin, after their indifferent performance against South Africa in their 0-3 ODI series defeat, will come under the scanner.

Rohit, who was also the designated Test vice-captain for the tour of South Africa, sustained a left-hamstring strain during a net session just prior to the team's departure for the tour and had to pull out.

Exactly, one day short of four months, the 33-year-old has now joined the list of former India captains, having announced his decision of stepping down for the second time, this time from the traditional format.

While Rohit has 781 rating points, Kohli is just inside the top-10 with 740 points. The batting list is being headed by Marnus Labuschangne of Australia with 924 points

After a chat with the white-ball captain, the selectors believed it would be prudent for Rohit to keep working on his rehab and fitness, instead of travelling with the team to South Africa.

KL Rahul will be leading the Indian team in the three-match ODI series against South Africa in the absence of regular white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma.

Besides Rohit and Ashwin, the other two Indians in the team were swashbuckling keeper-batter Rishabh Pant and left-arm spinner Axar Patel.

Rohit has been doing his rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) but it could still take some time for the Indian captain to regain full fitness

Rohit and Jadeja were seen at the NCA with India U-19 captain Yash Dhull in his social media posts. The BCCI also tweeted pictures of Rohit's session with the squad. Rohit himself played at U-19 level back in 2006.

The two senior players were seen at the NCA with India U-19 captain Yash Dhull in his social media posts. The U-19 team is currently camping at the NCA ahead of the Asia Cup beginning in the UAE from December 23.

Kohli says BCCI never asked him to reconsider quitting T20 leadership as claimed by the Board.

With Rohit missing the Test series in South Africa due to a hamstring injury and earlier speculation over Kohli missing the ODI series, it has given rise to speculation that all is not well in the team.
