Virat Kohli News: Why Virat Kohli is not in the ODI team for Zimbabwe? Know when will be back

New Delhi: Virat Kohli has not found a place in the ODI team going to Zimbabwe. Has Virat been dropped from the team? According to the BCCI, senior cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, including Kohli, have been rested. When will Kohli return to the field? In response to this question, a source told news agency PTI, ‘Virat Kohli has spoken to the selectors that he will be available from the Asia Cup.’ Explaining the logic behind resting the seniors, the source said, “The top players in the team will hardly get rest from the Asia Cup till the end of World T20. So it is two weeks after the West Indies tour when he can be rested. Less than three months are left for the T20 World Cup. Shikhar Dhawan will continue to lead the team in the absence of Rohit, Rahul and Pant.

KL Rahul’s injury became a headache
Senior opener KL Rahul has been left out of the Indian team traveling to Zimbabwe for the ODI series next month due to aggravating leg muscle injury. Due to this injury, Rahul’s chances of playing in the T20 World Cup can be affected. India will play three ODIs in Zimbabwe on August 18, 20 and 22. Apart from off-spinner Washington Sundar, fast bowler Deepak Chahar has returned to the team. Chahar has not played competitive cricket for five months and was also ruled out of IPL-2022. Rahul Tripathi, who was included in the squad for the T20 International against Ireland, has also been included in the ODI for the first time.

Seven months, seven openers… Dravid and Rohit’s experiments in T20s don’t sink the world cup!
Indian ODI Team: Shikhar Dhawan (Captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Prashant Krishna, Mohammad Siraj and Deepak Chahar.
