The big team talk which is circling the internet is that both Team India star batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be included in the squad for the T20I series against Afghanistan.

With the series being the final T20 project before the T20 World Cup 2024, it will be interesting to see whether both of them are included in the squad for the quadrennial event or not.

Rinku’s Inclusion A Possibility

With youngster Rinku Singh among the options for selection as well, the 26-year-old finisher has a good chance to feature in the tournament as well.

Rinku Singh has impressed in his recent T20 appearances against Australia and South Africa, showcasing his finishing abilities especially in the death overs.

However, with Team India selectors having a selection dilemma in their hands, the team could possibly see some surprises in store for the fans and pundits.

The T20 World Cup 2024 will be co-hosted by the United States of America and West Indies with Team India playing all of their group stage matches in USA.
