A few days ago, it was confirmed by the BCCI secretary, Jay Shah that Rohit Sharma will be given the responsibility to lead, i.e., the captaincy for the T20 World Cup 2024, while the BCCI secretary hasn't commented on Kohli's part. If the report by the Telegraph is to be believed, BCCI has given the responsibility to decide Virat Kohli's stay in T20 World Cup 2024 to the chief selector, Ajit Agarkar's hands, who even talked to the cricketer and asked him to play in aggressive form in this short format of cricket at the international level.

On the other hand, Virat Kohli was out from the T20 team for a total of 14 months before he played the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, wherein he reportedly failed to showcase his talents. However, the report by the Telegraph stated that the management feels that the slow wicket of West Indies and USA will not be well-aligned with Virat's batting, which is why Ajit Agarkar will try to convince the former to give a chance to the young cricketers. As per the report, the BCCI feels that players like Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, and Shivam Dube bring more value to the team than Virat. Well, it's worth mentioning that no such report has yet been officially confirmed. The final list of the players will be in the hands of ICC by the first week of May 2024.
