Former Indian cricket team batter Wasim Jaffer believes that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will retire from T20Is after the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Though Rohit picked up his form in the previous match against Australia with his brilliant knock of 92, Kohli continued to struggle and was dismissed for a duck by Josh Hazlewood.
Jaffer believes that this can be the last T20I competition for both Rohit and Virat but insisted that they will continue to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, he added that the final call will lie with them and the selectors.
“I think they both (Virat and Rohit) will retire from T20Is after the T20 World Cup. It is their call eventually and also the call of the selectors. While they will continue to play in the IPL, I believe we are seeing them for the last time in T20Is at the T20 World Cup,” Jaffer said on his YouTube channel.
However, Jaffer also backed Kohli and said that he will go on to score 100 international centuries. The batsman currently has a total of 80 centuries under his belt.
“Yes, I think Virat Kohli will score hundred international hundreds. He has a lot of time left and the way his fitness is and the way he scores his runs with consistency, I hundred percent expect him to cross hundred hundreds,” Jaffer added.
