Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had announced their retirements from T20I and Test cricket together, within a week after each other’s bold calls. Their T20I retirement came right after winning the T20 World Cup in 2024, and last month, in May 2025, the duo stepped away from the Test format.
Well, the BCCI didn’t arrange any farewell for their legendary servants, and even the current head coach, Gautam Gambhir, had said that he doesn’t believe in giving grand farewells to the players.
But CA is planning to give Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma a grand send-off when India tours Australia for three ODIs and five T20Is later this year, as it could be the last visit of the iconic duo.
Greenberg added that Australia wants to honor India’s iconic duo properly for everything they've given to the game during the white-ball series later this year as part of their special preparation to maximize interest for a long summer of cricket.

Australia gears up for blockbuster summer after BGT 2024-25 boom
Cricket in Australia hit new heights during India’s 2024-25 tour for the BGT, with huge crowds, especially at the Boxing Day Test, coming to watch the action. Greenberg has noted that last summer saw record ticket sales, and he expects more sellouts this season, saying this could be one of the biggest summers ever, packed with non-stop cricket action from August to March.
Greenberg signed off by saying, “I think we saw real momentum last year on the back of the BGT series, some record-breaking ticket sales. And I anticipate that we'll see a number of sellouts across the summer, really starting in August and going through until March. This might be a summer like we've never seen before, just in terms of the amount of content.”
