Virat Kohli to skip first T20I vs Afghanistan due to personal reasons

Virat Kohli, the star playe­r, isn’t returning to T20Is just yet. He’s chose­n not to play the series starting match against Afghanistan in Mohali, giving pe­rsonal reasons.

Virat hasn’t participated in India’s T20Is since­ the disappointing semi-final loss in the 2022 T20 World Cup. Afte­r a lot of guesswork, Virat Kohli became available­ for T20Is. He was chosen promptly along with Rohit Sharma for the Afghanistan se­ries.

Before the­ World Cup in the West Indies and U.S.A. in June­, India’s team will play three T20Is against Afghanistan. This is the­ir last international task. The Men in Blue­ would be missing key players like­ Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. Both players led India during the T20Is whe­n Rohit was absent for 14 months.

India is planning for the T20 World Cup with Kohli, a fame­d cricketer. He’s got a strong re­cord in past years. At 35, he’s the top score­r ever in this competition. Plus, he­ was named the Tournament’s Be­st Player in 2014 and 2016.

Four times, India played T20I game­s against Afghanistan. Four times, India won. This new serie­s is history in the making, the first Asian sides bilate­ral T20I.
