“The experience that both of them have and the matches that they have won for India, there are very few players who have won so many matches for India.

There are very few players in the world who have so much skill, quality and experience. So, in that sense, yes,” Gill had said last week about Rohit and Kohli.

Will Ro-Ko Shut Critics?
It would be interesting to see how they fare after a slight break from international cricket.
The two last played for the country a few months ago during the Champions Trophy where Rohit led the side to the title. Nothing short of a packed house is expected at the Optus stadium on Sunday (October 19).
