Uthappa Questions Kohli-Rohit Test Exits: "Didn't Seem Natural"

  • Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa stated that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's Test retirements earlier this year did not appear to be a "natural exit."
  • Uthappa believes the full truth behind their decisions will only be revealed if the players themselves choose to share it.
  • Rohit's retirement followed reports of BCCI removing him from captaincy, while Kohli's was more surprising, with some suggesting BCCI tried to persuade him to stay.
  • The 3-1 series defeat in Australia marked the final Test series for both veteran players.
  • Both Kohli and Rohit are now focusing on their ODI careers, showing renewed hunger, with an eye on the 2027 World Cup.

Why It Matters: Robin Uthappa casts doubt on the "natural" nature of Kohli and Rohit's Test retirements.
