Anjum Chopra: Virat Kohli Had More Test Cricket Left; Treasure Rohit, Kohli for ODIs

  • Former India captain Anjum Chopra believes Virat Kohli had more Test cricket left in him, despite his current focus on white-ball formats.
  • Chopra emphasizes the importance of treasuring senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup, citing their invaluable experience and impact.
  • She argues that age should not be a barrier if performance and fitness levels, like Kohli's, are maintained, and discarding them would weaken the ODI team.
  • Anjum Chopra also discusses Suryakumar Yadav's dip in T20I form, workload management for Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, and the puzzling selection decisions regarding Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami.
  • She highlights the need for India to focus on winning the 2026 T20 World Cup, rather than just defending a title, especially with the likely absence of Rohit and Virat from T20Is.

Why It Matters: Anjum Chopra advocates for retaining Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in ODIs, stressing their experience and fitness.
