There is no room for talk of retirement until 2027..!?
It has been revealed that indian team star virat kohli has decided to play until the 2027 World Cup. While virat kohli is said to have no intention of retiring, the question has also arisen whether the chairman of the selection committee Ajit Agarkar will take action against him due to his lack of form. Both the senior players of the indian team, virat kohli and rohit sharma, are in the last chapter of their cricketing careers. rohit sharma scored 92 runs and virat kohli 93 runs in the Test series against New Zealand. After that, virat kohli has scored 190 runs in 9 innings and rohit sharma 31 runs in 5 innings on Australian soil. Due to the poor performance of the senior players, the indian team has lost the chance to advance to the final of the World Test Championship.
As a result, the indian team will start the next World Test championship season with a 5-match Test series against england in June. It is believed that the indian team will be built with young players under the new captain. In a situation where it is seen that there will be no place for both rohit sharma and virat kohli in the team, it was expected that they would announce their retirement soon. But rohit sharma has said that anything can happen after 5 months. On the other hand, a bcci official said about virat kohli, with no Test series in the next 5 months, it will be difficult for the selection committee to select both rohit sharma and virat kohli for the england Test series. Because no one can be included in the Test matches based on IPL form. But virat kohli has not taken any decision regarding retirement. He has announced that he is ready to play till the 2027 World Cup. This has shocked the indian team fans. virat kohli last played Ranji Trophy cricket in 2012. With the Ranji Trophy Test series starting again this month, the question has arisen among the fans whether virat kohli will participate in it and regain his form. Similarly, the selection committee will not come to the decision of removing both rohit sharma and virat kohli from the indian team at the same time. Because the bcci will not be ready to lose huge advertising revenue at the same time. Therefore, critics are saying that rohit sharma, who is 38 years old, will be removed from Test cricket first and then a decision will be taken on virat kohli, who is 36 years old, in the next few months. But it is worth noting that if virat kohli bats without fixing his technical problems, the opponents will easily take wickets.
