Virender Sehwag Questions Virat Kohli's Retirement Call Again: "Could've Played Easily..."

Legendary Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag once again questioned Virat Kohli's decision to announce his retirement from Tests. Following Kohli's 25-ball-43 knock for Royal Challengers Bengaluru during the IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sehwag said that the star batter could have easily played for two more years considering his level of fitness. Kohli decided to bid farewell to the format ahead of the five-match series against England but Sehwag maintained that he had two more years in him. “Definitely. I feel he retired too early from the Test format. He could've played easily for two years, the way he maintains fitness. But only Virat Kohli can tell the reasons behind the decision. It's a player's personal decision based on his will, or whether he feels exhausted,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.

Shubman Gill Set To Lead India In Tests, Claims Report. Says Vice-Captain Will Be...

Flamboyant keeper-batter Rishabh Pant, in all likelihood, will be India's new vice-captain in Tests with talented batter Shubman Gill set to take charge of the national team in the traditional format. The choice of vice-captain seems to be a straight forward one as Pant is one of India' finest Test batters in overseas conditions and Jasprit Bumrah can't be considered for the role of deputy due to his stature and also when his own fitness is iffy, making him uncertain for full series.

The report claimed that Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Kolkata are being considered as the tournament venues. The places are not close to the areas affected by the escalating India-Pakistan tensions and that can reportedly convince the overseas players to return. IPL 2025 was suspended for a week amid the ongoing tensions and the BCCI said that further calls will be taken following a meeting with the stakeholders. According to the report, sources claimed that a two-week window will not be enough to finish the tournament and the BCCI may look to resume in September.
