‘Decide your future after Champions Trophy’: BCCI’s clear-cut instruction to Rohit Sharma; Virat Kohli not in danger yet

Published by Parlour News

With an eye on the future, the BCCI has told Rohit Sharma to decide on his future after the completion of the Champions Trophy 2025. Irrespective of how India perform in the marquee ICC tournament, the India captain has been asked to discuss his future so they can groom the next captain accordingly. Rohit, 38, finds himself in a race against time. While there is no doubt he wants to play on – he made it abundantly clear during the Sydney Test, which he sat out – his current returns don’t support him. Unless Rohit does something extraordinary to roar back to form, such as enjoy a record-breaking CT or set the IPL 2025 on fire, his chances of going to England look slim. If that is the case, the BCCI needs to finalise India’s next captain – at least for ODIs and Tests, for which they need an answer soon. Rohit Sharma (L) has been handed a shorter lifeline by the BCCI compared to Virat Kohli(Getty) “The selectors and people in the board had …

‘Up to the selectors’: Sunil Gavaskar’s blunt reaction on future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former India batter Sunil Gavaskar said it was up to the selectors to decide the future of stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the longest format. Kohli and Rohit has been under tremendous scrutiny due to their failures with the bat which was one of the main reasons that India couldn’t cross the 200-run mark six out of nine times in the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy. “How long they continue is really up to the selectors, Gavaskar said in an interview to PTI. “Now that India has failed to qualify for the WTC (World Test Championship) final, it would be pertinent to reflect on the reasons that (why it) happened,” he added.

Gavaskar also said that the repeated failures of the Indian batters had resulted in not only the recent debacle at Australia but also the embarrassing 3-0 whitewash against New Zealand at home. “It is clear that in …
