Rohit Sharma and Virat are being missed…
Rohit Sharma: While talking to the media, the BCCI vice president said that,
We all are missing Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both the players had taken the decision to retire on their own will. It has never been the policy of BCCI to ask any player to retire. We still consider both of them to be great batsmen.

Let us tell you that Virat and Rohit’s fans will be very happy to hear the line said by BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla in the end. He said that,
The good thing is that both the players are still available to play ODIs.
Put an end to all rumors!
It is worth noting that a rumor came out last week. In the midst of the Lord’s Test, such news started flying that now Shubman Gill is going to get the ODI captaincy of Team India. At the same time, it was also being said in viral rumors that Rohit has also told the board that if he does not captain, he will retire from ODIs. But with the statement of Rajiv Shukla, this rumor has been put to a full stop to a great extent.
Now it is clear that Virat and Rohit are going to return to ODIs. But it will be interesting to see when both of them will return. By the way, there are also reports that after the Bangladesh tour was canceled, now Team India can tour Sri Lanka for 3 ODIs and 3 T20s in the middle of August after the England series. The official announcement of this tour is yet to be made. At the same time, it will also become clear whether Virat and Rohit will return on this tour or perhaps in the ODI series against Australia in October.
