Big news related to Virat Kohli is coming out. According to media reports, Virat Kohli told BCCI that he wants an indefinite break from the ODI and T20 formats. That means he doesn’t want to play in ODI and T20 formats. However, there is no clear picture yet on how Rohit Sharma, regular captain of the Indian team, feels about the ODI and T20 formats.
According to Indian Express, BCCI sources said that Virat Kohli wants to focus on the Test format. For this reason, he does not want to play ODI and T20 formats. If media reports are to be believed, Virat Kohli told BCCI that he is not available for the limited-overs format. It is also unclear how long he will not play. The Indian team will play a three-match T20 series against South Africa, Virat Kohli will not be available for this series. After that, the Indian team will play the T20 series against Afghanistan.
At the same time, it is currently not clear whether the Indian team’s regular captain Rohit Sharma will be available for the ODI and T20 formats. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli last played for India in the T20 format almost a year ago. Both players featured in the 2022 T20 World Cup but both have not played for India in the T20 format since then.
However, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had recently shown excellent batting performances in the World Cup. The T20 World Cup is expected to be organized after around 7 months. Rohit Sharma is believed to be able to lead Team India in the T20 World Cup, but there are doubts over Virat Kohli’s performance. According to media reports, Virat Kohli does not want to play in the ODI and T20 formats, so only time will tell whether Virat Kohli will be seen in the T20 World Cup or not.
