It was expected that vice-captain Rohit Sharma's workload will be taken into account and he might be rested for the upcoming series. But in the team announced on Thursday, vice-captain Rohit Sharma, who has been in rampaging form, has been named in both the ODI and T20 squad, which will be led by skipper Virat Kohli.

Meanwhile, Shivam Dube was rewarded with a maiden call-up in the ODI format.

Shikhar handed another lifeline

Another player who had been under the scanner for his recent run of poor form was Delhi player Shikhar Dhawan. 34-year-old Dhawan has been struggling for a while now, even in the domestic circuit.

Moreover the Delhi player got injured during the Syed Mushtaq Ali game against Maharashtra on Thursday. Though he was taken to the hospital, he is expected to be fit in four to five days. And the selectors have handed him another life-line as he has been picked for both the T20 and ODI squad.

Also, Mohammed Shami, who has been in phenomal form, and has been a force to reckon with in the ongoing Test series, is back in the limited-overs squad. Shami last played a T20I back in 2017 in July. And following his lethal run, the selectors have picked him for the ODI as well as T20 squad.

For a while now India has been trying to find the correct combination ahead of the World T20 next year. The selection committee brought in Ravindra Jadeja in place of Krunal Pandya. Khaleel Ahmed has been dropped for the upcoming series, but they kept their faith on Deepak Chahar, who grabbed eyeballs with his hattrick against Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, on a positive note, the Indian team will see the return of Bhuvneshwar Kumar who had been out injured. Kuldeep Yadav too has been named in both the teams. Moreover, underfire Rishabh Pant has been given another chance and he has been named in the squad as well.

The three-match T20I series will begin from December 6, followed by the three-match ODI series.
