“In whatever format, nobody can replace Virat and Rohit in the Indian team. They have contributed greatly to Indian cricket, Dev remarked.
Recently, former India captain Kapil Dev spoke out to praise star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for their priceless services to the Indian cricket team. Kapil Dev referred to the two hitters as enormous servants of Indian cricket and said they were irreplaceable.
Notably, after India just won the T20 World Cup, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirements from Twenty20 international cricket. The Men in Blue won everything after going undefeated throughout the competition and overcoming South Africa in the summit match.
Regarding their influence in Indian cricket, Kapil Dev likened Rohit and Kohli to world-class players Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni.
“In whatever format, nobody can replace Virat and Rohit in the Indian team. They departed with great happiness having served Indian cricket immensely. With the reputation that Virat has built for himself across all platforms, T20Is will undoubtedly miss him. Both share the same traits as MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar. Speaking on the fringes of the Trinity Golf Championship League’s second edition curtain-raiser event, Kapil Dev stated, “They are irreplaceable.”
I hope they do better than what we have done: Kapil Dev Furthermore, Kapil Dev came forward to wish the Indian team luck as the BCCI recently announced former batter Gautam Gambhir will be India’s new head coach from the side’s upcoming white-ball tour to Sri Lanka. “If Gautam Gambhir is taking up that post (of head coach of the Indian cricket team), I wish good luck to him and the team. I hope they do better than what we have done previously. I want to wish the Indian players all the best,” Kapil Dev said.
