India vs New Zealand: Virat Kohli rested for last two ODIs, full T20I series

KNOWLEDGE SIR

Virat Kohli

India vs New Zealand: Virat Kohli will not be a part of the Indian team for the final two ODIs and the entire T20I series against England. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday decided to rest Kohli for the last two ODIs as well as the entire three-match T20I series. 
Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in the absence of the regular captain. India won the Asia Cup title last year under Rohit Sharma's leadership. 
However, BCCI has not named a replacement for Kohli so far. 
This comes as the selectors want to balance and manage the workloads of Indian players leading into the World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah, another player who features in all the formats, was rested for the Australia and New Zealand series.

India won the first ODI match with a convincing margin of 8 wickets.
“It was one of our more balanced performances in the last few games. When I lost the toss, I thought it was going to be 300 par. One-fifty-odd on that wicket was superb,” Kohli said after the match.
“The fast bowling group together believe they can knock any side over. And the belief in his own ability and his fitness - this is the fittest I’ve seen him in his career. And his Test form has translated into one-day cricket,” he added.

With heros and heroines, villains and comic characters, Mozart's final opera is one of his most beloved works. French tenor  Benjamin Bernheim  plays prince Tamino.
