Future Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma In international cricket continues to master the discussion, especially after BCCI named Shubman Gill as India’s new Captain Odi for the upcoming three games in Australia, beginning October 19. Both Rohit and Kohli have been put into the squad solely as expert beaters, but the uncertainty around their long-term role has triggered debate. With the ODI 2027 World Cup as the main focus of the team, speculation is that Australian visits can mark the final chapter of two international careers decorated by veterans.
Selector Ajit so Newly explained that players must participate in domestic crickets when appropriate and available if they want to remain in a quarrel for national election. However, former England player Steve Harmison believes that it can blame this approach, especially when dealing with Rohit and Kohli players. “Unfortunately I think there might be a messy end for Ajit to be there. If anyone will win here I think it’s a former captain instead of a former player,” Harmison said Talksport Cricket. “But it all depends, if you say this is just to burn the fire of Kohli and Sharma, then it’s fair enough. You put your card on the table and see what is coming.” Harmison further explained that although both players are still important for Indian preparations, Kohli’s influence on a 50-over cricket stands separated. “I think Kohli has got a little skin in the game, walking in the bank, his reputation, Sharma, not much, Sharma is a little older, he is not influenced in 50-over crickets like Virat,” he said. The former England also quickly warned that India could feel the absence of Kohli in depth if the voters tried to rebuild without him. “If Virat turns and says, ‘Well, you go to the 50-over World Cup without me … When you pursue 350 in 50 overs to win Australia or England, and you don’t get a 90-game shot at number four, see where your team is.’ There may be a messy end that way, “Harmison added.To emphasize the size of the issue to deal with, he said, “If he wants to find a battle, he will get one, but he will not win it.”

Harmison added to the humor, “I think the private jet will be used from London.” He joked that the Indian team would surely miss Kohli if he was not in the upcoming Odi World Cup and they started to lose. India’s first Odi against Australia will take place in Sydney on October 19.
