Even though stars like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are making a recovery, Harshal Patel is injured and is not part of the squad for the Asia Cup.

Despite defeating Namibia on Monday in Dubai as part of their Super 12 campaign, India failed to advance to the semi-finals as New Zealand defeated Afghanistan on Sunday.
The 33-year-old posted pictures from the tournament to social media, writing, “Together as one we set out to achieve our goal. Unfortunately we fell short and no one is more disappointed than us as a side. The support from all of you has been fantastic and we are grateful for it all. We will aim to come back stronger and put our best foot forward. Jai Hind🇮🇳🙏”
Virat Kohli played his last T20I match as captain of India against Namibia. ODIs and Tests will continue to be led by him. Group 2 saw India finish third behind Pakistan and New Zealand. Four teams have qualified for the semi-finals: Pakistan, New Zealand, England, and Australia.
Nine wickets were needed to defeat Namibia on Monday. KL Rahul’s unbeaten 54 off 36 balls helped India reach 136 for one in 15.2 overs chasing a target of 133 runs. A half-century was also scored by India’s opening batsman Rohit Sharma, who scored 56 off 37 balls.

The Indian cricket captain, Virat Kohli, announced on Thursday that he will resign following the conclusion of the men’s T20 World Cup in October in Oman and the UAE. Since he has been leading India across all three formats for the past five to six years, Virat Kohli has taken this step in an effort to manage his workload.
“Virat Kohli will continue to play all three formats,” he said, and will contribute in T20s despite playing all three formats for “at least 8-9 years.”
Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma reacted to his announcement on Twitter that he will step down as T20 captain of the Indian cricket team. She has been with her husband on his international tours since June and will be present during the T20 World Cup in October.
Anushka Sharma shared Virat’s lengthy note on Instagram with her followers, which explained why he decided to step down as T20 captain. As a caption, she included a red heart emoji, just like Virat did for his Instagram post.
He thanked everyone on Thursday via his official Twitter account for their support throughout his journey as Indian captain across all formats. Additionally, he stated that he will continue to contribute to the team as a batsman and as the T20I captain.
“I have been fortunate enough to not only represent India but also lead the Indian Cricket Team to my utmost capability. I thank everyone who has supported me in my journey as the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team. I couldn`t have done it without them – the boys, the support staff, the selection committee, my coaches and each and every Indian who prayed for us to win,” said Kohli in his statement.
Virat Kohli said that he would continue to lead the team in both Tests and ODIs. “Understanding workload is a very important thing and considering my immense workload over the last 8-9 years playing all three formats and captaining regularly for last 5-6 years, I feel I need to give myself space to be fully ready to lead the Indian Team in Test and ODI Cricket. I have given everything to the Team during my time as T20 Captain and I will continue to do so for the T20 Team as a batsman moving forward.”
Kohli became the captain of India in all formats in the 2017 series against England in which he made his T20I captaincy debut. In 45 T20Is, Kohli led India to 27 wins and 14 losses, with two matches tied and two endings in a no-result, making him India’s second most successful skipper behind MS Dhoni in the format. In 2018, Kohli became the first Indian captain with T20I bilateral series wins in South Africa (2-1) and England (2-1), followed by New Zealand (5-0) and Australia (2-1).
“Of course, arriving at this decision took a lot of time. After a lot of contemplation and discussions with my close people, Ravi bhai and also Rohit, who have been an essential part of the leadership group, I`ve decided to step down as the T20 Captain after this T20 World Cup in Dubai in October. I have also spoken to the secretary Mr Jay Shah and the President of BCCI Mr Sourav Ganguly along with all the selectors about the same. I will continue to serve Indian Cricket and the Indian Team to the best of my ability,” concluded Kohli.
On Tuesday, Sri Lanka’s all-time leading fast bowler, Lasith Malinga, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. “Hanging up my T20 shoes and retiring from all forms of cricket! “Thank you to all who supported me on my journey, and I look forward to sharing my experience with young cricketers in the years to come,” the 38-year-old tweeted.

He holds the record as the first bowler to scoop 100 T20I wickets and finishes fourth on the highest wicket-takers list behind Dwayne Bravo, Imran Tahir, and Sunil Narine.
Lasith Malinga was also a veteran of the Indian Premier League (IPL). With 122 appearances for Mumbai Indians, he played a vital role in helping the franchise become the most prosperous in the cash-rich league. The right-arm pacer announced earlier this year that he was retiring from franchise cricket.
