After witnessing the masterclass from Indian veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma over the last two ODI series, several former players have slammed the questioning of their place in the Indian ODI XI. Former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar has asserted that their place in the ODI setup should never have been questioned.
Following India's heroic win against South Africa at Visakhapatnam on Saturday, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were once again the architects behind the win and hence received an extensive amount of backing from one of their former coaches.
While the national selectors and the Indian head coach seemed doubtful about whether Virat and Rohit would be able to maintain their form and fitness until the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup, the scorecards of recent matches recite a different tale.
