You won’t see Kohli, Rohit or Rahul play T20Is: Aakash Chopra. Following in the footsteps of Ravi Shastri, Aakash Chopra feels that India’s three senior pros will not be seen on the T20I circuit after the IPL 2023.
The T20 form of cricket is fast evolving, as evidenced by league games such as the IPL. When it comes to batting, players who anchor the innings are increasingly losing relevance as metrics such as strike rate and boundary rate become more important when assessing a batter’s ability in the format.
Questions about the destiny of current Indian captain Rohit Sharma, previous captain Virat Kohli. KL Rahul are becoming increasingly relevant, especially now that the IPL 2023 has offered the Indian side with a plethora of such options. Ravi Shastri recently stated that the club must look beyond the three senior pros, while Aakash Chopra shared similar comments when he set a timetable of “90 days.”
When asked about KL Rahul’s future in the shortest version of the game in view of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s rise and the availability of options such as other centurion Shubman Gill and Mumbai opener Ishan Kishan, Chopra, an IPL expert on Jio Cinema, agreed with Shastri.

He agreed that it would be difficult for players like Rohit, Kohli, and Rahul to adjust to the format
If India continued to play the aggressive brand of cricket that they had committed to playing in the previous T20 World Cup.
“I won’t look at his (Rahul’s) case in isolation to begin with. ” I believe that the next generation of cricketers for this format is almost ready. That the previous generation will find it increasingly difficult to fit into the new design. If India continues to play in the same manner as they did in the previous T20 World Cup. “You will see a lot of the previous generation players not being part of the T20 scheme of things. ” Chopra told the Hindustan Times.
“Because this is an ODI World Cup year, India will play fewer T20I games in the remaining year. I don’t think you’ll see Kohli, Rohit, or Rahul play.” You’re not even sure when Rahul will be available. That is why I am predicting a change in the next 90 days,” Chopra remarked.
