IND vs AUS: The performance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has raised concerns among Indian cricket enthusiasts. There is already considerable speculation regarding the retirement of these two prominent players. Rohit chose to sit out the Sydney Test due to his lack of form, while Kohli took part in the match. This will mark Virat Kohli’s final Test appearance on Australian soil, and it is safe to say that his farewell at the Sydney Test Ground was not particularly memorable.
India is set to face England in a Test series in June. It remains uncertain whether Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli will be part of the squad. Should they be excluded from the team, what does the future hold for these two cricketing icons in Indian cricket?
