Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from this format after the T20 World Cup. Now the fans are worried about which ICC trophy they will be seen playing in again. BCC Secretary Jay Shah has given good news to all the fans with a statement.
Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and star batsman Virat Kohli, along with their teammates, finally ended the Indian team’s World Cup drought.
