It has not been even 10 days since India vs England Test series ended, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s ODI retirement reports have started catching up again. Team India’s next ODI series is to be against Australia in October. There are still 2 months left in the India vs Australia ODI Series, but according to a report by Dainik Jagran, Rohit and Virat can hardly stand in the Indian team till 2027 ODI World Cup.

According to Dainik Jagran, the upcoming India vs Australia series, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s career can also prove to be the end. In fact, the report claimed that if Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli want to continue their career till 2027 World Cup, then they will also have to play domestic cricket. If such a rule is implemented, both senior cricketers will have to participate in the 50-Over tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy to be held this year.

The reason for this is clear that the selectors want the players to be connected with the ODI format. Just as the players were made mandatory to play in the Ranji Trophy before the England Tour. In this report released, it was also told that playing in domestic cricket can force Virat and Rohit to retire early.

After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the selection committee has also moved forward on the strategy of forming a youth team. In T20, new and young players have been given opportunities, who have not lost any series after the 2024 T20 World Cup. At the same time, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the young team of India has gone to England and draws the Test series 2-2. Now speculation has started gaining momentum that the focus of the selectors can also be to prepare a young team in ODI.
