Indian batsman Virat Kohli will miss the first T20I match against Afghanistan. Indian coach Rahul Dravid informed about the development during the pre-match press conference. Virat returned to the Indian T20I team after the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final against England along with Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma will lead India in the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan and the first T20I will be played at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. Apart from Rohit and Virat Kohli, the other 14 members of the team do not have much international experience and this will be India’s last T20I international series before the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Virat Kohli not available for first IND vs AFG T20I match, will return for 2nd and 3rd T20I
