India faces Afghanistan in a key ODI series, with all eyes on Rohit Sharma as he returns after fitness concerns.
This ODI series against Afghanistan means more than three games, and this is the first step on India’s road to the 2027 World Cup.
Rohit, with many ODI double centuries and match-winning knocks, is one of India’s top white-ball stars. His experience will be crucial again.
With Kohli and Hardik sidelined from the ODI series, new players will have a great chance to impress the selectors and might earn themselves a call-up for the ODI World Cup squad.
Afghanistan, led by match winners like Rashid Khan and others who are in good ODI form, are ready to challenge India in all areas.
A strong showing in this series could change team plans and create new contenders for key spots.
A new ODI cycle starts with high hopes, and India needs a strong start. Can Rohit Sharma lead the way when it counts?
