Former India chief selector MSK Prasad opened up on the return of senior pros Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to the T20 side ahead of the Afghanistan series and why he considers that the IPL season could be make or break for a few players as far as selection for the T20 World Cup is concerned.
Lucknow Super Giants will enter the next season with new head coach Justin Langer and new strategic consultant MSK Prasad.
Former India selector MSK Prasad made a surprising pick for Rohit Sharma's opening partner in ODIs despite Shubman Gill doing well and Ishan Kishan being in the mix.
While the pitches in Sharjah have aided the spinners, the tracks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have been helping the fast bowlers as is being seen in the IPL.
Shastri, who has been serving as coach of the team since 2017, will most likely pave the way for the next coach after the ICC T20 World Cup
So far, Kohli has scored 218 runs in seven innings, averaging 31.14. His scores in the ongoing series are: 0, DNB, 42, 20, 7, 55, 50, 44.

Prasad, who has represented India in six Tests and 17 ODIs, named his three best selection decisions during his tenure as chief selector of Indian team.

In an exclusive interview with India TV Cricket, former chief selector MSK Prasad also talked about MS Dhoni's international retirement
In an exclusive interview with India TV Cricket, former chief selector MSK Prasad revealed the notion behind picking Rohit Sharma as a Test opener.
Prasad said that the three did have arguments but added that all of them being professionals helped in acknowledging each other's points.
The Kerala-born player has shown tremendous promise for his Indian Premier League (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), scoring a stunning century against Rajasthan Royals (RR) this year.
Prasad feels Hardik wouldn't squeeze into the side as a 'pure batsman', with players in Hanuma Vihari being a crucial part of India's middle-order.
Pant dropped debutant Will Pucovski twice on Thursday, allowing the batsman to stitch a century partnership with Marnus Labuschagne.
With Shubman Gill showing calmness and maturity beyond his age in his debut Test, the team is likely to fit in Rohit either at the expense of Mayank Agarwal at the top or Hanuma Vihari in the middle-order.
According to Prasad, it might be a good idea to have at least a 26-strong squad for the tour Down Under where both India and the 'A' team could be clubbed together for a month.
