Team India’s dream of winning the ODI World Cup in the year 2023 was shattered. Cricket fans will never forget the date of 19th November, but now it is the turn of the year 2024. The surprising thing is that Team India will play only three ODI matches in the year 2024, that is, the format in which the team played the most matches last year will not be possible this year.
Team India is starting the year 2024 with a test match. In such a situation, Team India will play maximum Test matches throughout the year, this time Team India will play around 15 Tests. But if we talk about ODI, only 3 ODI matches will be played. In such a situation, the question arises whether the senior players of Team India will play in these matches, if yes, then will this be the last time when the players will be playing this format.
The three ODI matches of the Indian team to be held in the year 2024 will be held on their soil against Sri Lanka in the month of July-August. Apart from this, the Indian team will be playing only Test and T-20 matches throughout the year. Let us tell you that T-20 World Cup is to be held this year, that is why the Indian team will be focusing on this format.
Have Rohit-Kohli played the last ODI?
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have ruled ODI cricket for the last one and a half decade, used to play very less ODI series earlier too. Because last year there was the World Cup, these players were seen playing this format. But this year, since there are only three ODI matches, the indications are that both the players might play this format for the last time this year and bid farewell in a way.
Rohit Sharma is 36 and Virat Kohli is 35 years old, the focus of both of them is going to be on T-20 World Cup and remaining 15 test matches this year. In such a situation, the focus should hardly be on the 3-match ODI format and Team India will have to bid farewell to its legends.
Team India in 2024:
- ODI– 3
- Test– 15
- t-20– 9 matches + World Cup
