He said:“Where have they retired yet? Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will both play in ODI. Why are you worrying about their retirement and farewell now? There is no need to worry about it. The BCCI policy is very clear. We don't tell any player to retire, they themselves take the decision and we respect that. We will tell how to do the farewell when the time comes. You guys want to do their farewell already. Virat Kohli is very fit and plays well. Rohit Sharma plays well. Why should we worry about the farewell now?”Earlier this year, the duo enjoyed success in ODIs as India clinched the 2025 Champions Trophy.
