Before the start of Australia series, fans are talking a lot about the ODI future of Rohit and Virat. There is only one question in everyone's mind at this time whether these two players will play in the 2027 ODI World Cup or not.

Rajeev Shukla gave a big statement regarding Rohit and Virat

Meanwhile, BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla has given a big statement regarding the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in ODI cricket. He said that both these players are not going to retire from this format yet. Quoting news agency ANI, Shukla said that having Rohit and Virat in the ODI team is very beneficial for us. Because both are excellent batsmen and in the presence of both of them I think we will be successful in defeating Australia.

It depends on the players when they will retire – Rajeev Shukla

The BCCI Vice President further said in his conversation that as far as this being his last series is concerned, there is nothing like that. We should not get involved in these things. It depends on the players when they will retire. To say that this will be his last series is absolutely wrong. It has become clear from this statement of Shukla that Rohit and Virat are in no mood to retire from the ODI format right now.

Rohit will play as a player in Australia series

Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India won the Champions Trophy title this year. But he will be seen playing as a player in the ODI series against Australia. He was removed from the captaincy before this series. Now Shubman Gill is the Test and ODI captain of India. Shreyas Iyer will be seen playing the role of vice-captain in this ODI series. Now, it will be worth seeing how Team India performs on the Australia tour under the captaincy of the new captain. The ODI series against Australia will start from October 19 in Perth. After the ODI series, a five-match T-20 series will be played between the two teams.
