After a humiliating defeat in the Test series, India was backed by their two veterans, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, when they turned to ODIs, the only format in which the two veterans continue to represent India.
Seeing the promising form of the 37-year-old Virat Kohli and the determination of the 38-year-old Rohit Sharma, no Indian fan would want them to retire as of now. Former Indian selector Madan Lal seems to be one among the countless Indians to have made the same appeal to the BCCI.
He has further stressed the fact that they both are extensively experienced cricketers and should be given the liberty to decide when to walk away.
"They look like they are some 28 or 30 years old"
The BCCI has constantly been concerned over their fitness, longevity and most importantly, the lack of gametime. Even earlier this week, a report had suggested that the decision-makers are waiting for a potential slip-up from either of these players to justify their exclusion from the team.
“But the way they are playing the ODI series, shows that they are still very, very fresh and look like they are some 28 or 30-years-old.
Madan Lal backs Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar:
The former coach and selector went on to sympathize with Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar, who have been fired with criticism ever since India's whitewash in the home Test series against South Africa.
“If the team is not doing good, then it becomes a case of (critics) going after the selectors. But if the team is not doing well, then it is also a calculative thing that your coach is as good as your team,” he concluded.
