Rohit Sharma India vs Afghanistan: Team India captain Rohit Sharma did not reach Mohali with the other players. If media reports are to be believed, Rohit reached Mohali by charter plane. The first match of the T20 series will be played between India and Afghanistan in Mohali on Thursday. Rohit took part in training before this match. But they reached here a little late. Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid had told many important things in the press conference regarding the playing eleven. One of these was the issue of opening.
Actually, Rohit could not travel from Mumbai with the rest of the players of Team India due to personal reasons. They had arrived by charter. According to media reports, Rohit reached the field straight after landing at the airport. He practiced batting for some time with Team India here. Due to delay he could not spend much time on the field. The important thing is that even Virat Kohli has not come to Mohali with Team India. Head coach Dravid told that he will not play in the first match of the series. Kohli will be seen in the second and third matches.
It is noteworthy that Yashasvi Jaiswal will also be in the playing eleven of Team India in Mohali. He will come for the opening with Rohit. Kohli is not playing. Therefore, Shubman Gill’s batting at number 3 is almost certain. Sanju Samson’s place is also considered almost certain. Samson had scored a century against South Africa. He had played an innings of 108 runs. Sanju’s international career has been full of ups and downs. He has not got many opportunities yet. Sanju has scored 374 runs in 24 T20 matches for India.
