Rohit, Kohli Return Threatened by Rain Risk at Thiruvananthapuram ODI
India begin their three-match ODI series against West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram on September 27, with weather emerging as a potential concern. AccuWeather has forecast a 25% chance of rain on match day, though the probability does not suggest a washout. Recent showers in the city have already affected preparations, and any interruption during the 2 PM start could impact play.
The series opener marks the return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to India's 50-over setup after their absence, generating significant anticipation. Shubman Gill will continue as captain, while Shai Hope leads the West Indies. Both teams will be hoping rain stays away during playing hours as they begin preparation for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
