The two legends of Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, have retired from Test and T20I cricket and now only represent India in One-dayers. Both these batters, despite limited cricket action, have continued to showcase their sheer domination in the sport.
Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif was blunt when he reacted to the reports claiming a review meeting that would decide the fate of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with the Indian team. Kaif reckoned that the two batters had been showing promising form and hence, no discussions were needed.
"You need to have seniors in the team. Of course, I don't think they will both change their decision. BCCI can think what has happened has happened, but can these two return? Think about this. Not about wanting to go with new guys for the World Cup. These two deserve to be there," he said on his YouTube channel.
"The South African coach would not have made the grovel statement" - Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif mentions that this clearly is due to the absence of senior cricketers in the side; had Kohli and Rohit been in the team, the coach would never have shown the audacity to make any such claim.
"Keep the runs aside, but the energy they bring to the whole team; these two playing only one format is a loss for the youngsters, as there is so much to learn. Their coach had the confidence that they would beat us, so he made such a statement. He would not have dared to had these two been there," Kaif added.
'India cannot lift the World Cup without the veterans,' remarked Mohammad Kaif
"We all have understood that this Indian team cannot win the 2027 World Cup without Rohit and Virat. Take this in writing. We have been talking about this, the fans have been telling us this. It is no secret. We would have been whitewashed in the Australia ODIs, but we won one match because of these two. They saved us there, and they saved us here, too. What did the youngsters do here? It was a good batting wicket, right? You needed experience here, too," he said.
"Kohli was not in good form in Australia. Then he took time in the final ODI. He does that. A big player does not play at one tempo all the time. Even Rohit had taken time in the second ODI there, but when he hit a hundred in the third, he played quick. Virat did the same thing. Once he got the runs in Australia, the confidence came, and you saw a quick and attacking knock here."
