Både Virat Kohli och Rohit Sharma drar sig nu tillbaka från landslagsspel i T20-formatet. De två var borta ur landslaget ett drygt år innan det beslutades att de skulle kallas tillbaka till detta VM:

"---But, Rohit and Kohli were not welcome with open arms back to the T20I team when the senior selection committee picked them for a T20I series in January against a visiting Afghanistan side. Rohit and Kohli did not play a single T20I for 13 months and India seemed to have moved away from the two veterans in the format. Kohli’s T20I game, it was said, was outdated. Rohit’s disastrous 2022 T20 World Cup campaign was a blot on his otherwise impressive T20I career.
India had taken a forward-looking approach after Hardik Pandya was appointed captain in T20Is. The Yashasvi Jaiswals and the Shubman Gills were given opportunities in 2023 when Rohit and Kohli were away from the shortest format.---"
Det var verkligen enormt nära att Sydafrika lyckades vända matchen i går. De hade väl behov av 26 poäng på 26 slag, om jag inte minns fel, och det mesta tydde på att de skulle lyckas med det. Starkt av indierna att knyta ihop säcken där, med Bumrahs och Pandyas bowling och Suryakumar Yadav fantastiska lyra.
