Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said that veteran opener Rohit Sharma is "irreplacable" as long as he is fit, available and scoring runs leading upto the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup.

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra questioned the call to go with just five bowling options in the first T20I against Zimbabwe.

Shreyas Iyer registered his first victory as an international captain as India defeated Zimbabwe by seven wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

India have also lost the five-match T20I series against England after a crushing nine-wicket defeat in the fourth match on Thursday.

India have played four matches since the T20 World Cup 2026 but have managed to win none.

Mumbai Indians are reportedly looking to trade Hardik Pandya ahead of the auction.

While Rohit Sharma has been cleared by the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) to feature in the contest, Virat Kohli misses out on the series.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has lost India's Test vice-captaincy to KL Rahul.

Ahead of India's one-off Test against Afghanistan at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh from June 6, Aakash Chopra said Rahul's experience and consistency will be vital to the team's success during the ongoing transition period.

Former Indian cricket team batter Aakash Chopra believes that the BCCI selectors should remain patient with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and not push him into the senior team despite a stellar IPL 2026 season.
