Former Indian cricket player Dilip Vengsarkar Feels a call to take on the shape and fitness of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be crucial. Rohit and Kohli have recently been selected for the 15-person ODI team from India for the Drie-Match series.
Vengsarkar was of the opinion that the assessment of the form and fitness of players who are active in the only format will not be easy, especially in view of the extensive gap between their last game and that they will be part of.
“Rohit and virat have been great players over the years, but if you only play one size of the game, I believe that the selectors should call about this. I feel that you cannot know or rank the shape and fitness of such players because they have had a long dismissal after the last game they have played. It is very difficult to judge their shape and fitness.
The former Indian skipper also thought that the duo was chosen because of their great record in the format more than anything.
“Rohit and Virat may have been chosen because of their great records. They have been great players and have done Yeomen Service to Indian Cricket, after they have won many matches in all sizes of the game. But because they have not played a test match cricket and T20i’s, and he is often played in the season, he is very difficult to their form and fitness,” “
India Will play Three Odis Down Under, which will be followed by five 20-way matches. The last time Rohit and Kohli wore the Indian colors was during the final of the 2025 Champions Trophy in March. They have already retired from T20Is (after the T20 World Cup 2024) and tests (prior to the English series).
