Shocking! Ravi Shastri breaks silence on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's retirement

Former India coach Ravi Shastri addressed the ongoing speculation about the possible retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, stating that both players still have plenty of cricket left in them and could even feature in the 2027 World Cup if they maintain their fitness, hunger, and passion for the game. He emphasized that retirement is a personal decision, just as their exit from Test cricket was, and that as long as they enjoy playing and perform well, there’s no reason for them to step away. Shastri also noted that consistency, motivation, and physical readiness are key factors in prolonging a player’s career, while reports suggesting their retirement after the upcoming ODI series against Australia were dismissed by the BCCI.
