Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to make a comeback
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are all set to make a comeback in the three-match ODI series. The duo have been away from international cricket after winning Champions Trophy 2025. Rohit and Kohli even announced their retirements from the Tests in May 2025, which means that they will only be continuing in ODIs. Even though both of them have showed their interest in playing the ODI World Cup in 2027, the uncertainty still looms over their ODI future.
