Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and also Ravindra Jadeja have all been rested for India’s T20I series against New Zealand. However, Venkatesh Iyer, Harshal Patel, and Avesh Khan have been called up to the national squad. For the first time after impressive performances in the IPL 2021.
Apart from weariness, Team India struggled during their T20 World Cup 2021 campaign due to inadequate preparation and execution.
“I think the template, it’s a very important one. I think we just need to set the template right and we’ve got some time to do that. India has been brilliant in this particular format, it’s just that we haven’t won the ICC tournament. But we played well as a team and we’ve performed well as a team.” Rohit said
While admitting that some gaps need to be filled. Rohit made it clear that Squad India will not strive to emulate the style of any other team.
