“Thank you for inviting us to spend invaluable time with you Honourable Home Minister Shri @AmitShah Ji. It was an honour and privilege to meet you,” Hardik posted on twitter with photos of him and his brother talking to Shah.
The Pandya-led side features fresh faces with seniors in Virat Kohli and KL Rahul not part of the T20I format and it is likely that Rohit Sharma may not be picked again keeping the 2024 World Cup in mind.
Pandya is also named as Rohit’s deputy in the three-match ODI series that will follow the T20Is. Rohit is currently recovering from a finger injury.
