The veteran cricket player denied any possibility that captain Rohit Sharma would declare his retirement following the devastating defeat to the hosts, Australia, in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Additionally, Virat Kohli, a former captain and seasoned batter, also had a terrible series. Several fans and experts believe that the Indian team should abandon its superstar culture and cut its veteran players to make room for bright young players, even though there was no rumor that he would retire.
The development has raised the most alarm and demands that Kohli and Rohit's futures be given immediate consideration.
The problem still exists, and BCCI is anticipated to discuss it for the first time at the Special General Meeting. Devajit Saikia, the newly appointed secretary of the board, has been instructed to send a firm message to Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector, regarding resolving the major conundrum and selecting a new team.
While hinting at the removal of both Rohit and Kohli from the Test team, a former BCCI official stated that the board must send a clear message. He emphasized that only performances count and that no player is more important than the game.
