Last chance for Rohit Sharma and
Virat Kohli to lift World Cup trophy: Mohammad Kaif
T20 World Cup: Mohammad Kaif feels
that this could be Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's last chance to win a World
Cup trophy for India. The star Indian duo will feature in India's T20 World Cup
campaign, starting June 2
Former
India cricketer Mohammad Kaif gave a gentle reminder in regard to Rohit Sharma
and Virat Kohli's World Cup winning prospects. Kaif pointed out that this could
be the last chance for the torch-bearers of Indian cricket to lift a World Cup
trophy in the white-ball format. The star Indian players will feature in the
upcoming T20 World Cup that will begin from June 2 with the USA and West Indies
co-hosting the tournament.
Kaif
gave a reality check of age being a huge factor in Kohli and Rohit's chances of
having another go at winning a major tournament.
"Rohit
Sharma knows he isn't going to play for too long now. Just two to three years
more. Same with Virat Kohli," Kaif told Star Sports.
"So
this is the last chance for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. They lost the World
Cup final in Ahmedabad. They played as if they had the cup snatched away from
them. Hearts were broken and fans were devastated."
Rohit-Kohli's quest
to lift World Cup
The
37-year-old Rohit and 35-year-old Kohli will begin their quest to help India
lift the T20 World Cup. The star India duo returned to the shortest format of
the game after a 14-month hiatus for the 3-match T20I series against
Afghanistan. Their last appearance in T20Is before this was during the T20
World Cup semi-final against England on November 10, 2022.
Rohit
and Kohli gave their everything during the ODI World Cup final, finishing off
as the top 2 run-getters of the tournament. However, India fell short of World
Cup glory after losing to Australia in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium,
Ahmedabad on November 19.
