'You can't take 1-2 games': Ex-cricketer's blunt warning to Rohit and Kohli

in5points

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma continue to perform in ODIs, with Rohit scoring his 34th ODI century and Kohli contributing two half-centuries in the England series.
Former cricketer Deep Dasgupta stated that neither player needs to be questioned about their place in the team, but they must make an immediate impact in series rather than taking time to settle.
Debate over their ODI futures persists despite no public commitment from head coach Gautam Gambhir or chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar regarding the 2027 World Cup.
