Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma made their comeback to the T20 format in the three-match series against Afghanistan. With this, he has indicated that he is in the race for the T20 World Cup. Rohit has even given a warning to the opposition teams by scoring a century in the third T20. After not being able to open the account in the first two matches, Rohit played an unbeaten inning of 121 runs in the third T20 and contributed significantly to Team India's victory.
People question his fitness, but after batting for the full 20 overs and fielding for 20 overs, the Hitman even batted twice in the Super Over. Not only this, but after playing a short but useful innings full of confidence in the second T20, Virat was out for zero in the third match. In the second match, Virat scored 29 runs in 16 balls. The former cricketer may not be happy with Kohli not scoring runs with his bat, but captain Rohit is impressed by his intentions.
Rohit praised Virat
Speaking to broadcasters after the third T20 in Bengaluru, Rohit highlighted how important the intent of Kohli and Sanju Samson was. Even if both of them could not open the account. Virat did not do wonders with the bat in the third T20, but he did wonders in fielding. Virat saved six runs by flying in the air at the boundary and then also took an important catch, in which he ran about 38 meters. This proved to be decisive in the match.
Rohit's statement about Samson
Rohit said after the match, 'We just need to make the players clear about their position and style of cricket. They know what to expect when they take the field. As you saw, Kohli tried a big shot as soon as he came. He doesn't usually do this, but he showed intent. Even with Samson, he was out on the first ball but had expressed his intention.
Will Rohit play World Cup?
The Indian captain was also asked about his journey from heartbreak in the ODI World Cup to where he stands now. Rohit said the 50-over World Cup is the pinnacle for him, but he is looking forward to lifting the T20 World Cup trophy. He said, 'I don't want to think about it right now. The 50-over World Cup is the biggest prize for me. It is not that I do not see the T20 World Cup and Test Championship as important tournaments. I grew up watching the ODI World Cup and when it happens in India, there is no comparison. We tried our best, but unfortunately, we could not win. The entire team was upset and I'm sure people were also very angry. Now we have a chance to win the T20 World Cup and hopefully, we will win it.
