Harbhajan Singh’s take on Virat-Rohit’s future in Team India

Harbhajan Singh has something to say about India’s greats, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

The two great Indian batsmen, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, post the Men’s ICC T20 World Cup announced their retirement from the short format of the game, prioritizing the traditional formats. The two returned on the field for the series against Sri Lanka, but India lost against them in a 2-0 defeat in the ODI series. Rohit, however, finished the series as the leading run-getter, while Kohli averaged only 19.33 in the 3 ODIs against Sri Lanka. India will only play three more ODIs before next year’s ICC Champions Trophy.

Harbhajan Singh’s take on Virat Kohli.

Harbhajan Singh on Virat Kohli said, “You ask any 19-year-old competing with Virat (on fitness). Virat will beat him. He is that fit. I believe Virat and Rohit have a lot of cricket left in them, and it is entirely up to them. If they are fit enough, they are performing and the team is winning, they should continue to play. As simple as that,” adding more on Kohli, he said, “He is probably the fittest guy in the team.” Harbhajan Singh also mentioned Rohit Sharma, saying, “Rohit can easily play for two more years.”

“You need these two guys to play a little bit more.”

The spin-bowling icon of India, Harbhajan Singh, said, “Red ball cricket, you really need these two guys to play a little bit more than what people are asking. You need experience in all formats whether its limited overs cricket and Test cricket. You need experienced cricketers to nurture the talent that is coming up. Selectors need to see that if someone is not performing well, they should be dropped. Whether they are senior player or juniors. But as long as everyone is fit, they should be able to get selected in the team.”
