Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be making a comeback ahead of the upcoming white-ball tour of Australia. Having retired from both Test and T20I cricket, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will now only be seen in action in ODI cricket, and the BCCI is planning to bring them into action for India.
Before the Australia tour, India will play three unofficial ODI games against Australia A in Kanpur, and the BCCI is reportedly keen on offering an opportunity to both Virat and Rohit to get some game time before the crucial three-match ODI series in October.
As reported by the Hindustan Times, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma could make a comeback in the upcoming 50-over games between India A and Australia A in Kanpur. These games will serve as the warm-up for the seasoned batters ahead of the high-stakes Australia tour starting October 19.

Meanwhile, India’s football legend and Kohli’s close friend Sunil Chhetri recently revealed that the dashing right-handed batter had shown him some of his fitness test results. Chhetri said that it made him really happy and proud to be around such top-class athletes.
He said that spending time with someone like Kohli, who works hard and stays in great shape, was an inspiring experience for the football legend.
Sunil Chhetri said on the DesiPL podcast, “A few days back, he (Kohli) was sending me his scores of one of the tests he was doing. It is so addictive, and it is so good to know these kinds of people. On your bad days when you feel a bit lethargic, you see them and think, ‘Let’s go.’ When you are at the top, everyone wants to be a Virat Kohli or Ronaldo, and for these two to keep their place is unbelievable.”
