Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be chosen for India a team
The two largest Indian cricket showmen in modern times, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, almost drawn the curtains on their illustrious careers. They announced T20IS pensions as well as test formats and only planned to play the 50 out of 50 format.
Although the form has never been a request for the two cricket players, their growing age would be a factor that could sabotage their hopes of playing in the ICC 2027 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma won the T20 World Cup (2024) and the ICC Champions Trophy (2025) and is only a step to become the second Indian captain after MS Dhoni to win all the ICC Limited-Overs titles.
According to the latest reports suggested by the Hindustan Times, Kohli and Rohit should be chosen for India a team in the 50 games. The three unofficial ODIs will be played between India A and Australia A at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur on September 30, October 3 and October 5, respectively.
Virat Kohli has passed his fitness test with flying colors
Having retired from the two other formats of the game, these legendary crickets played for the last time for India in international cricket in February during the Victorious Trophy campaign.
Rohit, the captain, led with an astonishing 76 in the final, while Kohli, on the other hand, marked a century against Pakistan and an 84 winning against Australia. Due to their long absence from international cricket, the two players were invited to undergo fitness tests at the BCCI Coe.
Rohit Sharma, who is known for his dubious physical form, has passed the tests and was probably considered a match compared to the BCCI report. On the other hand, Kohli has passed his tests with flying colors, also claiming a new record in the history of Yo-Yo tests.
However, since Kohli spent these tests in England, he would go to India this month and could undergo a series of fitness assessments in Bengaluru.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli shine from Australia to Australia in the Odi
The Indian team is scheduled to go to Australia next month to appear in a 5 -game T20I series, which will also be followed by an ODI series of 3 games, from October 19. If they arise for India, it would help them prepare for the series next month.
Rohit Sharma amashed a large 2407 points against Australia in 46 ODI, while Virat Kohli, on the other hand, scored a total of 2451 points in 50 ODI games. The record of the two veterans against the six world champions seems incomparably good.
