"Mereko Marwaoge": Rohit Sharma's Reply After Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane 'Retirement Mistake' Is Viral

After a thrilling encounter at the Gabba in the Brisbane Test against Australia, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma said that there is still chance for players like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane to make their comeback for the national team in the longest format of the game.
