Eden Gardens, Kolkata: Virat Kohli, who was rested during the Bangladesh T20I series, returned to lead the side in both the formats. Besides the skipper, Mohammed Shami also featured in both the squads. Some vital changes have been made in the squads considering the World T20 next year.
While the country was waiting for the pink ball debut at the Eden Gardens, the Indian selection committee has announced the dates for the ODI series against West Indies, with Virat Kohli returning to lead the side after giving Bangladesh T20 series a miss. Kedar Jadhav finds a spot in the ODI team.
Rohit Sharma was expected to be rested for the ODI series after a long season, but he has been selected in the side. And why would he want to miss out after being in such peak of his powers and after having an incredible year.
No player wants to break the rhythm especially when he is going through the most wonderful patch of his career and that's what Rohit Sharma.
Though we might see Rohit Sharma being rested in one or two games as the series go by.
