“I thought they could call one day after the UK tests”: Virat Kohli’s retired Rohit Sharma in the old Indian star

Former Indian cricket player Dilip Vengsarkar expressed his surprise for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirees from the test cricket, the test jack, and that the duo thought that both Rohit and Kohli were kept earlier this month. Their separation left a major gap in the Indian test team before the New World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, which started with a very important UK tour.

“There are both extraordinary and great cricketists and their contribution to the Indian cricket is very big. I have been shredded because there is a UK tour with five test matches.

Kohli drew curtains in 67 matches in 123 matches with 9,230 runs in 123 matches and 30 -century and 31 centuries and 9,230 running 4301 matches, including an average of 40.57 in the 12th century and 18 half centuries.

In June 2024, Rohit and Kohli announced that India retired from the T20Is after defeating South Africa to win the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup.

“Both are experienced players and they have worked very well in the UK in every round, so it is a big loss. At that time, if you see that India does a good job for a team in India, they will have the opportunity to play and establish themselves in the Indian team.”

Rohit’s retirement means that a new captain will be available for the Indian team when they visit England for a five -game test series from June 20.

When asked who will fill Rohit and Kohli in the Indian test cricket installation, Vengasarkar, “(Ajit Agarkar) and Co.’ya difficult to say.

Vengasarkar then took a shower to Shreyas Iyer for his current form. In March, Iyer made a successful trip with BAT in the Champions Trophy 2025 and ran 243 in five games at 48.60. He moved his thin form to IPL 2025, and when the PBKS reached the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, he argued his front side (Punjab Kings).

In this process, Iyer became the first captain to take three different franchises to IPL playoffs (Delhi Capitals in 2020 and Knight Riders in 2024). Iyer’s run in IPL 2025 is now 435, including two half centuries.

“He’s a good actor, there’s no question about it, and he’s done a very good job for years, an experienced player,” he said, “Iyer’s current form can help fill the gap created after the retirement of Kohli’s T20 and test formats.
