'They Can Decide When To Stop Playing': Ajaz Patel On 'greats' Rohit, Virat's ODI Future

By IANS News March 16, 2025 • 17:30 PM View: 813

New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon: New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel feels that India batting icons Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have the right to take a call on their ODI future amid speculations around their retirements from the format following Champions Trophy win.

Kohli was in sublime touch during India's title-winning campaign in Dubai last week as India defeated New Zealand in the final to claim their third tournament title.

The 36-year-old amassed 218 runs from five matches at an average of 54.50. He scored a match-winning unbeaten century against arch-rivals Pakistan before scoring a crucial 84 against Australia in the semi-final.
