Rohit Sharma, the legend of India, makes an eye -catching expression about Virat Kohli Pension | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Former Indian Cricket player Dilip Vengsarkar expressed the surprise that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from the test cricket and confessed that the duo expected the two to move away after the tour that started on June 20.Rohit and Kohli, who announced their test retirement in the early this month, left a significant gap on the Indian test side in front of the New World Test Championship (WTC) cycle that started with the high bets series in the UK.“There are both extraordinary and wonderful cricketists and their contribution to the Indian cricket is huge. I was surprised because there is a UK tour of five test matches. They could say one day after the UK tour, but they preferred before the UK tour. Then I think this is their call, Ven Vengsarkar said.

Kohli ended his red ball career with 9,230 runs in 123 matches at an average of 30 centuries and 31 fifty. Rohit concluded his test journey with 4,301 running from 67 games, and the 12th century and 18 half centuries on an average of 40.57.

The duo retired in June 2024 after the T20 World Cup by winning India to the 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.”While Rohit resigned, India will now need a new captain for the five challenging test series in England.When asked who could fill the empty positions of Rohit and Kohli in the test team, Vengsarkar was postponed to selections.“It is difficult to say who will change them because they are selective because they are selective (Ajit Agarkar) and Co..

Vengsarkar also praised Shreyas Iyer for his consistent form. Iyer was impressive in Champions Trophy 2025 and scored 243 runs in five games at an average of 48.60. He continued his purple patch to 2025 and took the Kings of Punjab to the first playoff in 11 years.In doing so, Iyer wrote history as the first captain to direct IPL playoffs to three different franchisees – Delhi Capitals in 2020, Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024 and the Kings of Punjab.Iyer has done 435 runs in IPL 2025, including two half centuries.“He is a good player, there is no question about this and he has done a very good job for years,” he said.
