About Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are currently heading to Australia for a three-match ODI series starting October 19. This will be first outing for both cricketers since the Champions Trophy triumph. With uncertainty looming large over place in the team for the 2027 World Cup, the upcoming ODI matches will be an audition for two of the stalwarts of Indian cricket.
