Why is Rohit Sharma not playing South Africa vs India T20 Series?

Rohit Sharma has been a prolific run-getter in International cricket across all three formats. Popularly named as the ‘Hitman,’ the Indian captain returns to the T20I setup once again in Mohali.

Rohit Sharma will lead Team India for a three match T20I series against their Asian neighbors Afghanistan. The first T20I will be played in Mohali. Let’s have a closer look at how Rohit Sharma has fared at this venue.

Rohit Sharma does not have the best of records in Mohali, as far as T20 cricket is concerned. He has underperformed at this venue in T20I cricket, being dismissed for scores of 12, 12 and 11 in the three matches he has played in Mohali.

However, Rohit Sharma scored his third double hundred in ODI cricket at this venue in 2017. The Indian opener smashed an unbeaten knock of 208 runs against Sri Lanka. Furthermore, he has an average of over 100 in Mohali in the 50-over-format.

Rohit Sharma will look to prove a point, as he leads Team India in the 20-over-format for the first time since the 2022 T20I World Cup semifinal debacle. Considering that the 2024 T20I World Cup is just about five months away, the Indian skipper will hope to make this series count.

Rashid Khan could prove to be a big miss against India, as Rohit Sharma has often struggled against the spinner in IPL cricket. Afghanistan will hope to see the back of the Indian opener in the early overs, or else he could really prove dangerous.
