Rahul, on the other hand, is an active part of India's plans in ODIs and Tests. He last featured for a T20I in November 22, after which he was ruled out of contention in what was a blend of inconsistent form and increased competition.

Both Rohit and Rahul will be expected to represent India during the Men in Blue's upcoming tour of Australia, which will comprise of three ODIs and five T20Is. Rohit last represented the nation in the title-winning Champions Trophy.
