"RoKo's" final T20I in World Cup final vs South Africa!
The national selectors want to end the format with the trio of Kohli, Rohit, and Ravindra Jadeja on a good note.
New Delhi: No Indian fan would want to see Rohit Sharma drag his fatigued body into the dug-out this Saturday afternoon in Barbados while attempting to cover up a tear that was starting to form at the corner of his eye.
Reliving Virat Kohli's expressionless face at the platform that held the prized ODI World Cup trophy precisely seven months and ten days ago would be too painful for any Indian fan to bear.
They would undoubtedly want to witness the two greats perform a remarkable tango in what is likely their "Last Dance" in the shortest possible format—at least in the colors of India.
If one is aware of the way Indian cricket is evolving, the national selectors and the BCCI brass both want the trio of Kohli, Rohit, and Ravindra Jadeja to finish the competition on a high note.
This is because, with the 2026 T20 World Cup in India in mind, the Zimbabwe series next month would undoubtedly bring in a new era. The core must be decided upon two years in advance for any global trophy to be prepared for, and it is improbable that a 39-year-old Rohit, a nearly 38-year-old Kohli, or even Jadeja will be playing in 2026.
