After Team India’s heartbreaking loss in the final of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, several fans and experts feel that captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might not play the shortest format of the game again.
However, legendary South African cricketer AB de Villiers backed both the Indian batting stars to feature at the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.
“We just have to see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in T20 World Cup 2024. It’s all about their hunger. Do they have the hunger to go there and win the T20 World Cup? I think so. I cannot speak on their behalf but I think they will want to go there and win. T20 World Cup is a short tournament and you do set yourselves up to have another chance of winning a World Cup. So I do see them going there,” said De Villiers on his official YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, reports have been published in some sections of the media that Rohit might be given the mantle of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024.
Notably, in absence of injured star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, India appointed Suryakumar Yadav as the captain of the Men in Blue for the Australia and South Africa T20 series.
