Claiming that India did well at CT 2025, Gavaskar also reckoned that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not indispensable. 

"For the Indian team to bounce back the way they did with comprehensive wins in the ODI and T20 series against England that were played on the team’s return to India tells volumes of the talent that Indian cricket has. Those wins, as also the triumph in the Champions Trophy and that too without Bumrah, also emphasises that nobody is indispensable in this game," Gavaskar wrote in his column on MidDay.

‘India has won without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’

"In the past too, India has won without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, but there’s not the slightest doubt that their presence in the team gives the team an even more invincible look. It is good to see so many overseas cricketers now coming up and saying India would have won anyway wherever they played and not only because they were stationed in Dubai," he added. 

What's Next For RoKo? 

Both the Indian legends would now shift focus to the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. Both Rohit and Kohli are integral members of their team and would be expected to come good.
