Rohit Sharma: Team India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli bid farewell to the shortest format of cricket, T20I, as soon as they lifted the T20 World Cup trophy in Barbados, West Indies. However, Test and ODI team captains Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can return to the T20 International format.

Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli will return because of this

After Rohit-Kohli's retirement, the responsibility of defending Team India's title in the T20 World Cup 2026 to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka rests on the young players.

However, Team India, which went to Zimbabwe with young players, did not have a good start and lost the first match of the T20I series against a weak team like Zimbabwe.

In such a situation, if the Indian team full of young players loses the series against countries like Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, then Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can make a comeback in the T20I series against big teams like England and South Africa.

Can take part in T20 World Cup 2026

If Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return to the T20 International format, they can be seen playing T20I once again on November 8 this year. The Indian team will go on a four-match T20I series on the South African tour from November 8 to November 15.

After this, Team India will play a five-match T20I series against England on home ground from January 22 to February 2.

He can end his T20I career with the T20 World Cup to be held in India in the year 2026. If this happens and Team India manages to win the T20 World Cup, then this will be the first time in the history of Indian cricket that Team India will defend any of its ICC trophies.

Rohit and Kohli can win four to six ICC trophies

If Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return to T20I, they will have a chance to win four to five ICC trophies.

At present, both the players have won three ICC trophies. A World Test Championship, Champions Trophy and T20 World Cup are to be played in the next two years. In such a situation, if Team India continues to perform well, then both the players have a chance to win a maximum of 3 trophies.
