Rohit Sharma Eagerly Waiting For WI Tour Prior To The West Indies Series:
Rohit Sharma is expected to put up on a stellar performance
India will play 3 one-day internationals (ODIs) versus the West Indies beginning on February 6 in Ahmedabad, followed by 3 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) in Kolkata. Rohit will captain the squad in the 1st ODI in the unavailability of KL Rahul, who’ll be ready for inclusion in the 2nd ODI.
India will have a busy schedule in 2022, as after hosting the West Indies, they will host Sri Lanka, with the next season of IPL also set to begin in March. With Virat Kohli stepping down as India’s Test captain, Rohit is viewed as the front-runner to take over. But, it needs to be seen whether officials would be attempting to control his workload since he is supposed to put on a stellar performance in the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup.
India’s ODI squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (Vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan
