“They Know When To Step Back”– Pujara On Rohit And Kohli’s ODI Future

The future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in India’s ODI squad continues to generate discussion ahead of the new season. Former India Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara feels that the two seasoned players will recognize the right moment to step away from the 50-over format.

Pujara highlighted that both Sharma and Kohli boast remarkable career records. Speaking on The Indian Express Idea Exchange, he said:

“I don’t need to give any advice because they are some of the best players in white-ball cricket. Even if they are playing just one format, they are experienced enough to know what is expected of them.”

“They are such talented players. Look at the records Virat and Rohit have. They also know when the right time is for them to call it quits. They understand the level of commitment required, and if they are fit enough, they can carry on playing international cricket for a long time.”
