Captain Rohit Sharma and veteran Virat Kohli will return to cricket action. They are currently under tremendous pressure. After underwhelming performances in the Ranji Trophy last month despite high expectations, the two stars are eager to make a strong impact in a format they have excelled in for years.
Kohli and Rohit were the leading run-scorers of the 2023 World Cup, with Kohli amassing 765 runs and Rohit contributing 597.

Since their heartbreaking loss in the 2023 World Cup final—after going unbeaten throughout the tournament—India's two stalwarts have played only one ODI series, a 1-2 defeat against Sri Lanka. Rohit managed two half-centuries, while Kohli struggled for form.
Their dip extended into Test cricket, and over the past three months, the two heroes of India’s most recent T20 World Cup triumph have faced increasing scrutiny over their future.
The upcoming ODI series against England serves as India’s only preparation for the Champions Trophy, set to be held in Pakistan and Dubai from February 19. The eight-team tournament could be a defining moment for both veterans, who have already stepped away from T20Is.

However, their form isn’t India’s only concern. A key selection dilemma revolves around the wicketkeeper’s role—should KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant be the preferred choice in the playing XI? With Rohit and vice-captain Shubman Gill expected to open, followed by Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Hardik Pandya, the wicketkeeper-batter is likely to slot in at No. 5.
