Fake ODI Practice? Public Slams Rohit & Kohli

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli seem to have misread the public mood after reports suggested that the BCCI might not retain them for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Instead of support, you can see growing discontent among fans.

Public Backlash Against Rohit and Virat

Many fans now call Rohit and Virat egoistic. They accuse both players of not taking the recent India-A ODI series against Australia-A seriously. The perception is that the duo no longer value every opportunity to represent India.

Questions Over Commitment

Fans say that if Rohit and Virat truly wanted to stay in the team, they would have grabbed every chance to play. Instead, their frequent gym and net-practice updates appear right when criticism peaks, making people doubt their intent.

Sympathy or Strategy?

To many, this looks like a well-timed PR act to gain sympathy. The public isn’t buying it anymore. They see the training photos and posts as attempts to influence opinion, not genuine commitment to the game.

Shreyas Iyer Sets a Strong Example

Shreyas Iyer, already a confirmed name for the ODI squad and likely for the 2027 World Cup, still played in the India-A series and led the side as captain. Fans appreciate his discipline and dedication.

Time for the Ro-Ko Duo to Prove Themselves

If Rohit and Virat want to prove they still belong in the Indian blues, they must show it on the field. Gym and net sessions alone no longer convince fans of their passion or purpose.
