"This could be the last ICC event for Rohit, Jadeja, and even for Virat Kohli" - Aakash Chopra ahead of ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra recently opined that the upcoming Champions Trophy might potentially be the last ICC tournament for senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja.
Analyzing the matter in a video on his YouTube channel, Chopra said:
"We always say never say never, that you might see Rohit playing the next World Cup and Virat and Jadeja could be seen for sure as he (Jadeja) is super fit. We don't talk about Jaddu's fitness that much. He is as fit as Kohli and might be fitter than him, but we talk about Kohli remaining fit till 2027. The question won't be whether these people can play till then."
He added:
"The question will be whether Indian cricket can survive without them or not. The question should always be how long Indian cricket needs a particular player and whether a better option is available at that time. I feel there is a strong possibility this could be the last ICC event for Rohit, Jadeja and even for Virat Kohli."
