Indian batting stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have both retired from the longest as well as the shortest format of international cricket. However, the two greats have expressed their desire to continue in the two remaining formats.
Srikkanth felt that, considering the contributions from the two Indian legends, they should be handed another opportunity after they missed the World Cup title by just a whisker back in 2023.
He has also cited that the Indian greats should be urged to feature in the Indian domestic 50-over games in order to make them match-ready during the big gaps in the Indian international calendar.
"For people who've achieved so much, especially Virat Kohli, I'll give them the extra bit of leverage" - Kris Srikkanth
The duo were last seen playing for India back in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy final, where India won their second consecutive ICC title under the leadership of skipper Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's form has also not been considered a huge concern on the Indian side, since the two batters, despite their age, have been flawless.
Their next international schedule will be against Australia in the 3-match series on their tour to the island nation.
Srikkanth believes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma must be putting in efforts from their end
"They have to get at least some match practice. And they'll come and do it. They'll do it automatically; you don't even have to tell them. Probably Virat Kohli is practising in England. How do we know? It's a cricket-playing country. Likewise, Rohit Sharma is probably practising here. So they will be preparing for it," said Srikkanth via the aforementioned source.
