The future of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is constantly under discussion in Indian cricket. There is news that the relationship between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir is deteriorating, the reason for this is being said to be the differences arising between the two on some important issues. According to a report by NDTV, Rohit Sharma has agreed to play in the trophy in the domestic tournament Vijay Hazare Tournament. But Virat Kohli has refused to play in the domestic tournament.

According to NDTV, a source said, “The center of the problem is the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Kohli does not want to play in this tournament. When Rohit Sharma is ready to play, how can there be an exception for one player. If this happens, what will we say to other players? That one particular player is different from all of you?”

Rohit Sharma can be seen playing for Mumbai not only in Vijay Hazare Trophy but he can also be seen playing for Mumbai in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. On the other hand, Kohli is not in favor of too much preparation. In such a situation, a complex problem has arisen in front of BCCI, because it is in no mood to change any rule just for one player.

It is also worth noting that BCCI’s selection committee and head coach Gautam Gambhir have been continuously asking the players to remain active in domestic cricket. It was only after BCCI’s request that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had to play Ranji Trophy matches after their poor performance on the Australian tour.

Amidst this entire controversy, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have proved their form. Rohit Sharma had scored a century in the series against Australia, while in the first ODI against South Africa he played a half-century of 57 runs. Whereas Virat Kohli had played a brilliant inning of 74 runs in the last ODI against Australia and 135 runs in the first ODI against South Africa.

Big decision of PAK team just before T20 World Cup, series confirmed with former world champion; schedule released

Politics has started taking hold of the Indian cricket team. We are not saying this but Congress leader Shama Mohammad has made such a claim. In a social media post, he has accused the current head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir, of selecting players on religious grounds. Taking the name of Sarfaraz Khan, Shama Mohammad asked whether he was not selected in the team just because of his surname.

Shama Mohammed posted on

This statement of Shama Mohammed has come at a time when Sarfaraz Khan did not get a place in the India A squad for the series against South Africa A. This statement of the Congress leader is also being heavily criticized.

Sarfaraz Khan last represented the Indian team in the match against New Zealand in 2024. After that, he was not selected in the squad for Border Gavaskar Trophy, then England Tour and recently also in the West Indies Test series. Despite good domestic record, Sarfaraz is out of the team.

Is Sarfaraz Khan not selected because of his surname! #justasking We know where Gautam Gambhir stands on that matter

—Dr. Shama Mohamed (@drshamamohd) October 22, 2025

Shama Mohammed has called Rohit Sharma ‘fat’

This is not the first time that Shama Mohammed has given a controversial statement about a cricketer. In the same year, he called Rohit Sharma fat and called him the most ineffective captain in the history of Indian cricket. Recently, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi had also raised questions that despite consistently doing well in domestic cricket, Sarfaraz Khan was not given a place in the India A squad.

Here we go again. If merit doesn’t fit the narrative, pull out the “surname card.”

Sarfaraz’s selection depends on performance, not on “political victimhood hashtags.”

Cricket runs on stats, not sympathy and Gambhir’s record on nationalism hurts the ecosystem the most.

Stop…

Really? Or is it just cricketing form, team balance, and performance that decide selection? Let’s not drag surnames into everything

‘I have 5000 more runs than Sachin, I would have had the most centuries too’, everyone is surprised by the Australian legend’s statement.

Indian cricket team is going to get a new chief selector, very soon Ravi Shastri can be appointed as the new chief selector. We are not saying this, but social media is full of such claims. It is being said that very soon Ravi Shastri can replace Ajit Agarkar. Agarkar has been the chief selector of the Indian team since July 2023. But is Ravi Shastri really going to return to Team India after 4 years? Know here what is the truth of this viral claim.

Will Team India get a new chief selector?

It is being claimed on social media that Ravi Shastri is going to become the new Chief Selector of Team India in place of Ajit Agarkar. ABP Live investigated this viral post and found that this news is completely fake. Usually, BCCI issues a statement for appointment to such a vacant post, but no statement has been issued yet regarding the appointment to the post of Chief Selector.

Ravi Shastri himself has not given any statement in this regard nor has any statement from Ajit Agarkar come out on this. Ravi Shastri has been the head coach of Team India and stepped down from the post of coach after the 2021 T20 World Cup. But now the rumors of his returning to the post of Chief Selector in Team India after 4 years are completely false.

When will Ajit Agarkar’s tenure end?

Ajit Agarkar was made the chief selector of Team India in July, just a few months before the 2023 ODI World Cup. He recently told that being the Chief Selector is the most difficult job. Agarkar had said that India is filled with so much talent, it is very difficult to choose among them. His tenure has been extended till June 2026.

The atmosphere seems to be heating up regarding Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami. Shami had taken a dig at Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and said that he is completely fit and will play for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy. Shami also said that it is not his job to give information to the selection committee about his fitness. Shami has also proved his fitness by bowling long spells in the first match. But meanwhile, Ajit Agarkar has given a statement on Shami’s comment.

Ajit Agarkar replied

According to NDTV, Ajit Agarkar, while replying to Mohammed Shami’s comment, said, “Mohammad Shami has been an excellent performer for the Indian team. If he has said something, then maybe I need to talk to him or he needs to talk to me. Even before the England tour, we had said that if he had been fit, he would have definitely been selected in the squad. Unfortunately, he was not fully fit. Now our domestic season has started, the time is yet to come.” Will tell you what happens.”

What did Shami say?

Recently, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had said that he does not have any update regarding Shami. When Shami was asked a question in this regard, he said, “My job is only to go to NCA, practice and play matches. Selection is not in my hands. If there was any fitness problem, I would not have been here (in Ranji Trophy). If I can play a match lasting 4 days, then I can play in the 50-over format as well.”

Mohammed Shami is playing in Ranji Trophy

Mohammed Shami is currently playing for Bengal in Ranji Trophy. In the first round Ranji Trophy match against Uttarakhand, he took 3 wickets for just 37 runs in 14.5 overs. In this he also bowled 4 maiden overs. In the Bengal vs Uttarakhand match, he bowled 15 overs and gave only 21 runs till stumps on the third day. Shami has bowled about 30 overs in this match and somewhere he has proved his fitness.

On speculations about the last series of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla said, “As far as calling this the last tour for Rohit and Virat is concerned, there is nothing like that. We should never get involved in these things. This decision only depends on the players as to when they want to retire. It is absolutely wrong to call the Australian tour as their last tour.”

Also praised Team India

He also praised Team India for its 2-0 victory in the Test series against West Indies. He said, “I congratulate the Indian team under the captaincy of Shubman Gill for the Test series victory over West Indies.

Since Rishabh Pant is injured, Dhruv Juril is being considered as the first choice of wicketkeeper. At the same time, N Jagdishan can find a place in the squad as a backup.

According to this report published in the cricbing, Devdutt Padikkal can get a chance in the middle order. The selection of Nitish Kumar Reddy is also reported to be discussed, but due to no fast bowling all -rounder in the team, the selectors may have to give him a place in the squad.

You must have seen them in IPL, U-19 and Vijay Hazare Trophy, but their level in Tests falls a little compared to ODIs and T20s. Our goal is to make them better in Tests. 7-8 in the 10 innings played by them.
