Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Should Comeback – Fans to BCCI After Batting Fails During 1st T20I at Ranchi Between Ind-NZ

Ind vs NZ: Should Virat and Rohit continue playing T20Is?

Ranchi: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are arguably the best white-ball batters of the generation. And hence both of them not being in the playing XI in the first T20I at Ranchi hurt the side as they lost the game by 21 runs. Now, fans are demanding the return of the two superstars in the T20I mix. While that is unlikely to happen, the reactions on social media and the support for the two cricketers also go on to show their popularity.

Chasing 177 to win, the Indian top-order trio of Shubman Gill (7), Ishan Kishan (4), and Rahul Tripathi (0) failed to give India a good start and got out cheaply. Here is how fans are reacting:

When you look at our openers in T20Is, feels like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can still continue in this format and play 2024 world cup.

Try as hard as you want BCCI but the truth is not a single IPL star of yours can do what Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma did.

THEY ARE IRREPLACEABLE. #INDvNZ #ViratKohli #RohitSharma pic.twitter.com/ivno9kWn7z

This is what happens when you get your ego ahead of a game by resting the best like @imVkohli and @ImRo45 . Play for the country and not for your ego @hardikpandya7

With India trailing 0-1, they need to win the next game to force a decider. It will not be easy without their two biggest superstars.
