As the three-match series against Australia concluded, the experienced veterans, especially Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, passed a very difficult test. Rohit, returning to international cricket after a nearly six-month break, ended the challenge with an unbeaten 121, while Virat Kohli began with an unbeaten 74. Rohit had found form in the second ODI in Adelaide, but Kohli came into the field in the third match with the burden of two consecutive ducks. However, he showed he wasn’t going anywhere and still had plenty of cricket left in him.
When will Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma play their next match for India?
Both superstar batsmen are not going to play against India A and South Africa A, so now both will start their next campaign with South Africa’s tour against India starting on November 30th. During this tour, the visiting team will play a three-match ODI series against India. Clearly, the series will be much easier than the one against Australia, but do both teams and the BCCI plan to maintain their form and momentum for the next 36 days? The series against South Africa will be played between November 30th and December 6th. This means that there will be no cricket for both teams for the next 36 days.
Will they play against South Africa or New Zealand?
There will be a gap of approximately 35-36 days between the end of the South Africa series and the start of the series against New Zealand, but the Vijay Hazare Trophy will be played during this time. The question is, will Rohit and Virat Kohli play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy before the New Zealand series? What decision will the Board make regarding their participation in domestic tournaments?
Gill, when asked about this matter in the post-match press conference, said, “I don’t think there’s been any discussion about this. But there’s a significant gap between the South Africa series and the series against New Zealand. We’ll see how the players stay in touch with the game and then a decision will be made.”
