The comments made by Gavaskar and Pathan on Kohli and Rohit went viral on the internet. These comments were also paid heed to by the BCCI officials, as they are reportedly hell-bent on solving the selection dilemma. Kohli and Rohit’s poor performances, barring Virat’s century in the series opener in Perth, sparked discussions on their future in Test cricket and whether selectors would consider them at all when the fresh World Test Championship cycle begins in late June 2025.

Kohli and Rohit are unlikely to retire: Report.

As per a report in Dainik Jagran, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are unlikely to retire on their own, leaving the difficult task up to the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee. The report read, “The officials of the team are also unhappy with the defeat. The team going through a difficult phase of change will now have to do a lot of introspection after returning home. When asked about this, the top BCCI official said I was listening to Gavaskar and Irfan after the match. When asked about Virat and Rohit, he said there are no indications that these two will retire from Tests on their own. BCCI cannot even ask them to retire, but something will have to be done for the team’s betterment. Certainly, when the time comes, the selectors will take the right decision.”
