Rohit, Kohli phenomenal in ODIs, should continue if they perform: Ganguly

NEW DELHI: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should continue playing ODIs as long as they are performing, given their "phenomenal" record in the 50-overs format.

Reacting to media reports suggesting that the upcoming ODI series in Australia could be the last for the celebrated duo, Ganguly said he is not aware of any such development.

"I'm not aware of this, can't comment on this,” he remarked when asked about the speculation.

Ganguly however stressed that performance should be the deciding factor in prolonging their careers.

"It's difficult to say. Whoever does well will play. If they do well, they should continue. Kohli's one-day record is phenomenal, even Rohit Sharma's. Both of them are phenomenal in white-ball cricket,” he said during AWL Agri Business Ltd Event in Kolkata.

According to reports, the tour of Australia in October could mark the final ODI appearances for the two Indian greats Kohli and Rohit, who have already retired from T20Is and Tests.

The duo have so far remained non-committal on whether they are targeting the 2027 World Cup. Agencies
