Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been central to Indian cricket for years. Rohit has led the team to two ICC titles as skipper, while Virat transformed the mindset of players, especially in red-ball cricket, making India far more competitive worldwide.
No Proper Send-Off for Legends
Any respectful cricket board would ensure legends like Rohit and Virat get a fitting farewell at home. But the BCCI appears indifferent. Fans believe the board does not value its icons enough to grant them the farewell they truly deserve.
Rohit Sharma’s Uncertain Future
Rohit’s chances of featuring in the 2027 ODI World Cup were slim from the start. However, reports that he is being pushed aside after the Australia series have left many disappointed. The treatment towards him has been called unfair and disheartening.
Virat Kohli’s Dilemma
Virat’s situation is different but still uncertain. Unlike Rohit, he is not being forced out immediately. Yet, he must decide whether to continue until 2027 or step away sooner, balancing his own mental and physical readiness with expectations.
BCCI’s Controversial Plans
The reported move to remove Rohit in Sydney highlights the lack of compassion within the BCCI. Despite being the richest cricket board, its handling of senior players raises questions about how it values long-term contributions.
What Lies Ahead
With the Australia tour approaching, all eyes are on Rohit and Virat. Their response to the current situation will shape not only their own futures but also how fans perceive the BCCI’s respect for cricketing legends.
