India tour of england 2025: Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir has finally broken his silence on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket. He said that it is a personal decision of the player to retire and he appealed to respect his decision. Speaking before India’s tour of England starting in Leeds on 20 June, Gambhir commented on zero born from the retirement of two greatest players in India.
Gambhir said in an interview that when to start the game and when to finish, it is a completely personal decision. Nobody has the right to tell when you have to retire – whether it is a coach, selector or any person in this country. This decision should be taken from the heart. Both Rohit and Kohli distanced away from Test matches earlier this month, ending a chapter of India’s longer dominance in cricket.
Gambhir admitted that Rohit and Virat’s experience will definitely be missed, but he also said that this is the time to give young players a chance. Yes, it will be difficult, but many players will come forward. When someone goes out, someone else gets an opportunity to do something special for the country. Gambhir gave the example of India winning the Champions Trophy without Jasprit Bumrah and said that the team could be successful even without senior players.
