Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma’s T20I Return A Step Back For BCCI? Suresh Raina Says “If You Look At…” | Cricket News

[ad_1] Contrary to the prevalent notion of it as a backward step, former India all-rounder Suresh Raina on Thursday termed the selection of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli into the national squad for the T20I series against Afghanistan as a wise call with the World Cup fast approaching. Rohit and Kohli were included in India's T20 squad after a gap of 14 months, and Raina said their presence will give the squad a lot of solidity. "If you look at the World Cup venues (in the USA and the West Indies), the wicket will be a bit tricky. India will need the experience of Rohit and Kohli there.

Their presence will certainly better India's chances to win the T20 WC," said Raina, now an expert wi...

Not only the players but also Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid was finding it hard to adjust to such a low temperature at the venue."Not that cold, huh?" Gill funnily says in the video, adding, "Actually, it's very cold. I think it would be around 7 degrees. I just keep my hands in my pocket but I would not advise that unless you have hand warmers in your pocket."Meanwhile, Rinku said, "Bhai sahab bahut thand hai. Dekho abhi main domestic ka...
