2024 for Indian cricket began with a fantastic triumph in Cape Town, and the Indian cricket team will look to keep the momentum going as we host Afghanistan for a three-match T20I series. And guess what? The Hitman WILL lead India in the upcoming series.

This is Rohit Sharma’s first limited-overs assignment as captain since the 2023 ODI World Cup. But, being the legend, the icon and the optimistic cricketer he is, RO-hit will look to take the memory of the World Cup final loss and turn it into a new chapter for Indian cricket in 2024 - the year of the T20 World Cup.

While our newest MI captain Hardik Pandya, Aapla Dada Surya and ‘Pocket Dynamo’ Ishan Kishan will miss the upcoming T20I series, our young superstar Tilak Varma, AKA TV, will look to make a positive impact with the bat and ball.
