Amid swirling speculation over a send-off series for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla firmly dismissed the idea. He emphasized that both players remain active and performing strongly in One-Day Internationals, and that retirement decisions rest solely with the individuals—not the board. Shukla questioned the premature talk of farewells, asking, “If they’re playing, why worry about retirement?” He reaffirmed BCCI’s policy: it does not pressure players to retire. The duo is scheduled for India’s upcoming ODI tour of Australia this October, underscoring their continued relevance to the team. (PC: AFP)
