Even though Virat and Rohit Sharma are amazing players, the stars of both are in decline at the moment. Both these players said goodbye to Test cricket just before the England tour. After this, Rohit Sharma was also removed from the captaincy of the ODI team. Shubman Gill was suddenly made the captain in his place. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar even said that it is not certain that Rohit and Virat will play in the 2027 ODI World Cup. In such a situation, speculations started that both these legends should retire together after the Australia tour, but now the BCCI Vice President has said that this is wrong.
