Asia Cup 2025: I will not miss Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli – Atul Wassan
The former Indian cricketer further said that he won’t miss the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the high-profile match against Pakistan because the new superstars are capable of getting the job done for the side. He said:
“I will not miss Rohit (Sharma) and Virat (Kohli) because then I will start missing Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev also.”
“The king is dead, long live the king. Things move, new superstars come in, and this embarrassment of riches, and I feel sorry for the selectors because to keep everyone in the mix because who’s to drop and who’s to pick.”
Asia Cup 2025: I think this team looks really set – Piyush Chawla
Meanwhile, the former leg-spinner Piyush Chawla hailed the India National Cricket Team for performing exceptionally in T20I cricket after the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
He added that the current Indian team looks totally set as the young players in the side have gained a lot of experience by playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Chawla said:
“If you look at the current Indian team, the number of games that they have won post the Rohit and Kohli era in T20 cricket, they are doing a wonderful job. Somebody like Arshdeep is not getting a chance in the playing XI, being in the top five of world T20 bowlers.
“I think this team looks really set, and you always miss these kinds of players. But this is the part and parcel of the game. One has to come and then go. We can’t even say that this team is going through a transition period, because if you see all the players in this squad, they have so much experience, and when you play a tournament like the IPL, when the standards are so high,” he said, as quoted by SportsKeeda.
