The Indian team will leave for South Africa on 16 December. Test matches will be played first in the series. After this there will be an ODI series. Rohit Sharma was made the vice-captain of the recently announced Indian Test team. But he has withdrawn from the Test team due to injury. At the same time, news is coming about Virat Kohli that he has withdrawn from the ODI series.
The Test series between India and South Africa will start from December 26. Virat Kohli will captain the team in the test series. The ODI series will be played from February 19. The Indian Cricket Board has already announced the captain of the ODI team. After replacing Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma has been made the new captain of the ODI. However, the ODI squad is yet to be announced.
According to the English newspaper ‘The Times of India’, Virat Kohli has withdrawn from the ODI series against South Africa. The newspaper writes that Virat has described himself as ‘unavailable’. If this happens then the Indian team will go without Virat in the ODI series. That is, the audience will have to wait longer to see Virat Kohli playing under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
Cricket lovers know that Rohit Sharma has captained India in 10 ODIs so far. India has also won the Asia Cup trophy under his captaincy. But Rohit has captained India in the same matches when Virat Kohli was out of the team due to some reason or the other.
