Rohit Sharma has been absent from India’s T20I side since the humiliating 10-wicket defeat against England in T20 World Cup 2022. His continuous absence from the T20I side has fueled the rumours of him missing the 2024 T20 World Cup. Since Rohit Sharma has gone missing from the shortest format, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are leading the side. As per reports, Pandya is a hot favourite to lead the side in the upcoming ICC event.
