With a three-match ODI series against West Indies starting on February 6, India’s star batsman will be hoping to maximize his form in ODIs. Kohli, who was sacked as the ODI captain of the side ahead of the tour of South Africa, scored two fifties against the hosts.
If he scores 6 runs in the first ODI against India, Kohli could accomplish the feat in his 96th ODI innings. This Sunday’s ODI would also be India’s 1000th match in the 50-over format, the most by any team.
Due to an increase in Covid cases across the country, all three ODIs will be played behind closed doors.
In the meantime, Mayank Agarwal and Ishan Kishan have been added to the squad after Shikhar Dhawan and Ruturaj Gaikwad tested positive for Covid. Rohit is reportedly going to open with Kishan. That’s a very exciting prospect.
