The transition of India’s white-ball squad was made official by the BCCI on Tuesday with the appointment of Rohit Sharma as the team’s new T20I captain and KL Rahul as his deputy. @ImRo45 named the T20I Captain for India. A poor Indian Premier League followed by a forgettable T20 World Cup was enough for the selectors to drop him, although the BCCI press release didn’t carry any quote from chief selector Chetan Sharma. Chahar, who was picked ahead of Chahal for the T20 World Cup for being “quicker through the air”, returned with figures of 0/30 in the only game he played. With the former rested for the upcoming assignment, Axar Patel, omitted from the main T20 World Cup squad at the last moment, has been drafted in.
