A former Indian cricket legend, part of a past World Cup-winning team, recently spoke about the possible retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Test cricket. He praised both players for their years of service, leadership, and match-winning performances, calling them “pillars of Indian cricket.” However, he also added that the game doesn’t stop for anyone. “They’ve done a lot for the country, but cricket must go on. New players will step up, and the team will grow,” he said, highlighting the natural flow of the sport.
The legend also stressed the importance of giving younger players a chance to carry the team forward. He shared that while fans will surely miss Kohli and Rohit in whites, it’s also exciting to see fresh talent take the spotlight. “Every generation brings new stars. Just like these two once replaced legends, now it’s time for others to rise,” he added. His message was clear—respect the past, but stay ready for the future.
