"Given His Age...": Virender Sehwag Reasons How Relieving Rohit Sharma From T20 Captaincy May Help Star
Former India opener Virender Sehwag reckons that skipper Rohit Sharma could be relieved from captaincy duties in the T20 format which would allow him to manage his workload better. Rohit has not been able to feature in all of India's matches since taking over as captain due to injuries and workload management. "If the Indian team management has someone else in mind as captain in the T20 format, then I think, Rohit (Sharma) could be relieved and the following can be taken into consideration going forward," Sehwag told PTI in an interview.

India's batting superstar has had a tumultuous time with the bat in international cricket in the recent past. Virat Kohli has failed to reach the magical three-figure mark in what seems like an eternity now with his last Test century being a 136-run knock in Kolkata against Bangladesh, way back in 2019. However, after taking a brief break following the end of IPL 2022, Kohli showed signs of returning to his best during the four-day warm-up game against Leicestershire.

India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I, India Predicted XI: Will Umran Malik Get Another Chance?
India on Sunday defeated Ireland by seven wickets to lead the two-match T20I series 1-0. The match in Dublin saw Indian batters being right on the money but it was certainly the bowling department of the visitors that failed to meet expectations. Ireland scored 108/4 against India in the rain-curtailed match that was reduced to 12 overs a side. Though India eventually won the game riding on a good batting performance, stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya will be looking for a better showing from his bowlers in the second T20I to be played on Tuesday.
