Mohammad Kaif: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Approaching Final Years, T20 World Cup is Last Chance

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif recently commented that Rohit Sharma, along with Virat Kohli, is nearing the end of his international career. Kaif believes that the upcoming T20 World Cup could be the last opportunity for these two cricket legends to win the trophy, especially after the disappointing loss in the previous tournament last November.

Kaif said on Star Sports: “Rohit Sharma knows he isn’t going to play for too long now. Just two to three years more. Same with Virat Kohli. So this is the last chance for Rohit and Virat Kohli. They lost the World Cup final in Ahmedabad. They played as if they had the cup snatched away from them. Hearts were broken and fans were devastated.”

He continued: “India hardly have competition in the group stage. There are only two main matches – the semi-final and the final. Are you ready for those two days? That’s the biggest test for Rohit.”
