Kohli and Rohit Can Shine in 2027 World Cup
Virat Kohli aur Rohit Sharma, Bharat ke cricket ke do mahan khiladi, ab bhi 2027 ODI Vishwa Cup mein chamak sakte hain, aisa vishwas New Zealand ke prashiddh fast bowler Tim Southee ka hai. Kohli, jo T20I aur Tests se retire ho chuke hain, ab bhi shandar form mein hain. Unhone South Africa ke khilaf ongoing ODI series mein lagatar shatak banaye hain, jabki Rohit ne bhi apne aakhri teen matches mein ek shatak aur ek fifty banai hai.
Southee ne kaha, “Kohli shayad sabse behtareen one-day batsman hain aur agar ve ab bhi achha kar rahe hain to kyun nahi? Rohit ne bhi kuch din pehle Australia mein shatak banaaya tha, toh ve ab bhi achhe form mein hain.” Is prakar, jab tak dono khiladi apna achha performance dete hain, umar sirf ek number hai.
2027 Vishwa Cup tak, dono khiladi lagbhag 39 saal ke honge, isliye unka bhavishya cricket jagat mein charcha ka vishay bana hua hai. Southee ne kaha, “Yeh unka faisla hai. Agar unhe lagta hai ki ve ab bhi un sab cheezon ko kar sakte hain jo highest level par khelne ke liye zaroori hain, toh kyun nahi?”
India ki South Africa ke khilaf ghar par pehli baar Test series ki haar, jo 25 saalon mein hui, ke saath hi Kohli, Rohit aur Ravichandran Ashwin jaise senior khiladiyon ki retirements ne ek naya daur shuru kiya hai. Lekin Southee is par zyada na tola, kehte hain, “India ne bahut saari anubhav ki khoj ki hai aur ve ek transition phase mein hain.”
Southee ne Test cricket ko ab bhi sabse uchch samjha, kehte hain, “Mere liye Test cricket khelna ek sapna tha. Mujhe ummeed hai ki kai bachche ab bhi red ball cricket khelne ka sapna dekhte hain.”
Ab, Southee apne coaching role mein Kolkata Knight Riders ke saath judne wale hain. Unhe wahan ke players ke saath kaam karne ka mauka milega, aur ve Umran Malik jaise khiladi ke saath kaam karne ko le kar utsuk hain. Southee kehte hain, “Umran ke paas anokhi raw pace hai. Yeh dekhna romanchak hai aur mujhe ummeed hai ki wo is season achha karega.”
Yeh sab kuch dekhte hue, Southee ka kehna hai ki ILT20 ek anokha platform hai jahan har match mein high-quality cricket dekhne ko milega. Unka vishwas hai ki yeh league har saal behtar hoti ja rahi hai aur inhe yeh anubhav bahut pasand hai.
