Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: Captain Rohit Sharma’s form was poor in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, raising questions about his future. However, Rohit stated that he is not going anywhere and has no intention of retiring. Following India’s defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Test series, it was decided in a BCCI review meeting that every senior player would need to play domestic cricket. As a result, reports suggest that Rohit Sharma will be seen playing Ranji Trophy matches for Mumbai.
