Rohit-Kohli's India Return: Long Wait Ahead for Star Duo

• Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's last international appearance was in the ODI series against New Zealand, which India lost 2-1.
• Kohli scored 240 runs in the series, including a century, while Rohit Sharma managed only 26, 24, and 11 runs.
• Both players will not feature in international matches for India for the next four months, as they no longer play T20Is and the IPL occupies April-May.
• Their next potential international appearance could be during India's tour of England in July 2026, if they are still playing ODIs.
• Upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan, West Indies, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka are scheduled for late 2026, posing significant challenges for the team.

Why It Matters: Rohit and Kohli face a long break from international cricket, with their return uncertain until mid-2026.
