Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma to RETIRE After 2025 Champions Trophy? Gautam Gambhir’s Condition For India Head Coach Job
St Lucia: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are two of the greatest to have held a bat in this generation, but again, both are in the twilight of their illustrious careers. With the Indian cricket regime set to change with coach Rahul Dravid’s tenure coming to an end, speculations and multiple reports suggest that Gautam Gambhir is going to take over.
So, with a new era set to start, Gambhir, who looks like the obvious choice, has made five demands. As per Navbharat Times, Gambhir wants Rohit, Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami to hang up their boots after the 2025 Champions Trophy.
One thing is for sure, that everything will eventually depend on Rohit and Kohli’s form. Also there is the WTC final next year and India could very well feature in that. They would love to win it in their third attempt.
Among Gambhir’s other demands are full authority of the functioning of the team. He also wants to prepare a roadmap for 2027 ODI WC.
Meanwhile, the Indian team led by Rohit is enjoying a winning run in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 in the US and the West Indies. In hours from now, the side is set to take on Australia in their final Super 8 game at St Lucia. Here is India’s T20 WC 2024 squad.
India’s T20 World Cup 2024 Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal
