Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are no longer untouchable in Indian cricket as the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee has decided to strip them of the special privileges.
On Saturday, October 4, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Shubman Gill as the new ODI captain and sacked Rohit Sharma despite his immense success.
Rohit Sharma slammed 76 runs in the summit clash and steered India to an amazing title triumph, which was his second consecutive as captain, with the previous one coming in 2024 - the T20 World Cup.
No special privileges for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli
Although the modern-day batting greats Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are present in the ODI squad for the Australia tour, they won't enjoy any special privileges anymore.
"They may no longer be immune to the vagaries of selection - no special privileges anymore and may soon find themselves subject to the same selection criteria as everyone else," the Cricbuzz report read.
Age factor goes against Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma
The BCCI selection is also considering the age factor of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who will be 40 and 39 by the time the next World Cup starts. This clearly goes against them and with the youngsters waiting in the wings, the selection committee might be tempted to give chances to new faces.
Ajit Agarkar has also sent a clear message to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy if they wish to prolong their international careers. Also, the chief selector himself reached out to Rohit to convey the decision to sack him, and it is not known how he reacted.
