Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has commented on what he believe will be the future of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma with Indian Cricket Team. Harbhaan made his observations after India’s poor showing against Sri Lanka in a bilateral series.
Harbhajan Singh believes Rohit can play for another 2 years and Virat can play atleast for the next 5 years given his level of fitness.
“Rohit can easily play for two more years. With Virat Kohli’s fitness, you can see him competing for five years. He is probably the fittest guy in the team,” Harbhajan said.
“You ask any 19-year-old to compete with Virat on fitness, and 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, performing, and the team is winning, they should continue to play. As simple as that,” Harbhajan added.
India will play only three more one-day internationals before the ICC Champions Trophy next year. After the Sri Lanka series, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh spoke with PTI on the two stalwarts’ futures. Harbhajan believes Rohit can lead India for another two years, while Kohli, known for his great fitness, can fight at the elite level for another five years.
Harbhajan Singh on future of Indian Test Team
“Red ball cricket really needs these two guys to play a bit more than what people are asking. You need experience in all formats, whether it’s limited-overs cricket or Test cricket.
Experienced cricketers are essential to nurture the upcoming talent. Selectors need to see that if someone is not performing well, they should be dropped, whether they are senior players or juniors. But as long as everyone is fit, they should be able to get selected in the team,” Harbhajan added.
