Rohit Sharma will be returning to T20I action after almost 14 months as he leads the side in the upcoming IND vs AFG 1st T20I on Thursday (January 11). To note, Rohit Sharma last played a T20I game and it was against England in the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-finals in November.
Meanwhile JioCinema, the official streaming platform for the IND vs AFG T20I series dropped a poster on their social media handles featuring the Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma. Take a look:
Rohit on verge of breaking Dhoni’s record
Hitman is on the verge of becoming the India’s most successful T20I captain in terms of matches won. The former Indian captain MS Dhoni has 41 wins from 72 matches. On the other hand, the opener has led the Indian cricket team on 51 occasions with the side emerging victorious in 39.
If India are able to win all three matches in the series against Afghanistan, Rohit will surpass Dhoni in the elite list with a chance to extend his record in the first game of the T20 World Cup 2024.
