BCCI told Rohit Sharma that his test career was over, Virat Kohli’s “Personal” call for the board of directors: report

While the Indian Cricket spectrum reconciles with the possible output of the Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli of Test Cricket pillars, a report shared the backstage details of the conversations which took place between all the parties involved. In addition to a BCCI meeting in Mumbai on May 7, involving the head of the control board of the Control Council in India (BCCI), Ajit Agarkar, the Rohit of test retirement was made public. A larger bomb was abandoned on Indian fans after information reporting Kohli informing the board of directors of a similar intention was made.

However, a report by Dainik Jagran has now said that Rohit had been informed of the BCCI’s decision well in advance. According to the Hindi daily, the board of directors had clearly told Rohit that he was no longer part of the team’s test plans.

It was later reported that Kohli informed the BCCI of its decision to withdraw from the longest format, but the Council urged it to reconsider for the tour in England. However, the newspaper also mentions that the BCCI does not want to intervene too much in the appeal, suggesting that the decision to retire is personal.

Rohit was already about to retire from the longest format after a bad outing in the Border-Gavaskar trophy, where he also dropped from the Sydney test. Although he has already gone, Kohli could soon follow his traces and leave the format he likes the most.

Among the potential successors of the Captain of Rohit, the name of Shubman Gill is above the list of wishes. Gill has shown excellent qualities of form and leadership for Gujarat titans in the Indian Premier League, and would be the choice of Captain N ° 1 for the test format. He is already the vice-captain of the team in T20is and Odis.

As for Virat, he managed the Indian team in the tests for the first time Adelaide against Australia in 2014, replacing the legendary MS Dhoni. Under Kohli, India has experienced many memorable victories in the longest format, showing the potential to become a force away from home. Kohli also led India to two finals of the world test championship, although the team cannot win any.
