Rohit injured his calf during the fifth T20I against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui on Sunday (February 2). He was the captain of the side after Virat Kohli was rested. Due to his injury, KL Rahul took charge of the team.

It is a huge blow for India. Mayank Agarwal or Shubman Gill may replace Rohit in the ODI squad. In the Test line-up, KL Rahul and Gill may get the nod. Rahul is likely to be the reserve opener. Gill recently hit a double century for India A against New Zealand A and this might help.
