Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are poised to reunite on the T20I field for India after 14 months, as the national selection committee included both veterans in the squad for the upcoming three-match series against Afghanistan, commencing on January 11. This development coincides with the Indian team management's efforts to establish a consistent group of players for the approaching T20 World Cup in June. With Hardik Pandya sidelined due to an ankle injury, Rohit Sharma is set to helm the T20I team once more, marking his return to captaincy since the T20 World Cup in 2022.
