There was too much buzz around the future of Indian stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma before the start of the Australia tour, since the two had retired from the two other formats, and their chances to keep up their good form with playing such limited international matches looked insignificant.
Rohit Sharma was the greater dominant batsman in the series, as he has always been against Australia. Averaging a solid 57.7 against Australia, he has the highest ever average for a player in the history of the game against the mighty Aussies in ODI cricket.
Rohit averaged 101 in the series and has batted with a strike rate slightly lower than his usual, but his composure has impressed more than anything in the series. He was part of a 118-run stand with Shreyas at Adelaide and then a 168* run stand with Kohli at Sydney.
"In the back of their mind, they know that people are waiting for them to fail," Mohammad Kaif revealed
"In the back of their mind, they know that people are waiting for them to fail. There are selectors and some media people. Ab to zid bhi hai Virat Kohli ki, Rohit Sharma ki (both of them are determined). Look at their face, they appeared focused but calm," claimed Kaif.
"You need Rohit Sharma on South Africa's bouncy track. Same with Virat," Kaif's verdict on Indian veterans
The veteran duo, with their 168-run partnership, set the record of the 12th 150+ partnership between them, equalling the former record held between Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly previously for India. This seemed like a statement from them that they have their eyes set on the 2027 ICC World Cup.
"In South Africa, it is a must to have Rohit and Virat in the squad because of the experience they bring along. You need Rohit Sharma on South Africa's bouncy track. Same with Virat. He plays well on fast, bouncy strips. Rohit Sharma has shown that age is just a number. You only fix things when they're broken. People support Rohit and Virat because they know they haven't done anything wrong," Kaif added.
