No Rohit-Kohli? No problem! India unbeaten in T20Is from 2024:Mixed ODI Test results whenever the duo make the Playing 11 since 2023 World Cup

India’s recent tour of Australia highlighted a striking contrast in performances. The Men in Blue lost the three-match ODI series with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the XI, but won the T20I series 2-1 without the senior stars, with two matches washed out. In fact, after the 2023 ODI World Cup, India’s performance charts tell two different stories- one featuring the experienced duo of Rohit and Kohli and another led by the fearless new T20 core.

While Rohit and Kohli have guided India to major Test and ICC success, the younger brigade- with Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad among others- have ensured India remain unbeatable in T20Is since mid-2024. The contrast between the two eras highlights India’s growing depth and adaptability across formats. India’s latest result, a 2-1 T20I series win in Australia, with the final game washed out, further strengthens the young side’s record. Since the 2023 World Cup, India have won every bilateral T20I series they have played without Rohit and Virat.
Key takeaways from the data points With Rohit Kohli: Strong ICC record, home dominance but inconsistent in overseas Tests and ODIs. Without them: Young guns have built an 80% win record in T20Is, winning every series since 2024 across Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, England and Australia.
