Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
Since Indian cricket begins a new chapter after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s test retirement, former cricketer Yograj Singh shared a deep emotional and important perspective when his exit.Talking to ANI, Yogaj described Kohli’s retirement as a significant disadvantage: “Virat is a big player, so it would be clearly a loss.” Drawing parallel to India’s transition phase in 2011, he said, “When many players were either removed, retired, or forced into retirement in 2011, the team separated and still not standing back.”Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

Someone should walk away from the field when no one can walk now.”Who is that IPL player?Warning against a team made only by youth, he warned, “If you form a team full of youth, it will always be separated.” He also guessed Kohli’s mentality, saying, “Perhaps Virat feels that he has nothing left to achieve.”
Yograj was particularly vocal about Rohit Sharma, commenting, “I think Rohit needed only one person to inspire him daily, for example, to go for a run at 5 am. Rohit and Virender Sehwag are two people who retired very quickly.”He said, “The greatest players should play till the age of 50 … I am sad about their retirement because no one is left to inspire the youth now,” he concluded.
