Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be back in action for India when they take on West Indies in a three-match ODI series, starting September 27.

Both batters have already retired from Test and T20I cricket, but they continue to be part of India’s ODI plans. Their last international appearance came during India’s three-match ODI series against England.

The upcoming series gives both Rohit and Kohli another opportunity to add to their already remarkable ODI records. While Rohit is closing in on the 12,000-run mark, Kohli is just 59 runs away from another major milestone.
