Mumbai: Following Rohit Sharma’s decision to take a break from white-ball cricket, Virat Kohli has also requested a month’s rest ahead of the upcoming Test series against South Africa. The two cricket stalwarts, Rohit and Virat, are already on a break from T20 cricket after their participation in the 2022 World Cup, where Bharat reached the semi-finals but faced defeat against England.
With both Rohit and Virat opting for rest, there is speculation that ,KL Rahul might assume the captaincy role in the ODI series against South Africa, scheduled to begin on December 17. However, an official announcement on the captaincy has not been made.
When Hardik Pandya got injured during the World Cup, Suriya became a potential captain for the T20 team, following Hardik’s earlier stint in captaincy. The decisions by Rohit and Virat to step back from white-ball cricket mark a strategic move, ensuring their readiness and fitness for the upcoming cricket challenges, especially in the Test format against South Africa.
