NEW DELHI, Jan 7, 2024 (BSSS/AFP) - India's Rohit Sharma will skipper the
upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, fresh from celebrating
the quickest win in Test history in South Africa, India's cricket board said
Sunday.

Earlier in January, Rohit led India to thrash South Africa by seven wickets
in the second Test, a match which took only 107 overs and was completed on
the second afternoon.

Sharma now returns to lead his team in the T20 format, alongside key player
Virat Kohli.

Both last played a T20I in November 2022, when India lost to England in the
semi-finals of the T20 World Cup in Australia.

The 2024 T20 World Cup takes place in the West Indies and the USA in June.

The three-match T20 series opens in Mohali on January 11, followed by Indore
on January 14 and Bengaluru on January 17, the Board of Control for Cricket
in India (BCCI) said.
