Does Virat Kohli's Greying Strands, Rohit Sharma's Relaxed Holiday Signal End of Their ODI Careers?

Seriously? You are actually questioning should Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli continue playing ODIs or not. How could you? One would have understood if you asked them to call it quits from the Test and the T20I format, where they may not be the best - but not ODIs. In the ODI format, they are the best and hence it is safe to say that 50-over cricket is their format. Most may argue, that Kohli and Rohit should continue playing Tests, but that is a call they have taken, which again happens to be a suspicious one. Surely, they wanted to play Test cricket and that is why they featured in a rare domestic game for their respective states. Now, what happened after that remains a mystery.

Do you feel the BCCI is rushing to end the glorious careers of two of the best of the generation? It seems so.

Kohli's Grey Strand, And Rohit's Belly

A couple of pictures have been doing the rounds on social space where Kohli is having grey beard and in another picture, you can see Rohit's belly. 

So, should these be the reasons for their ouster or should it be performance and only performance? Without a doubt, they would need to score runs to silence their critics and look to continue on till the 2027 ODI WC. Remember, not long back - the two played integral roles in India's triumphant run at the Champions Trophy.
