Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two cricket legends, dropped a bombshell when they announced their retirement from test cricket. Rohit made the call on May 7, and just five days later, Virat followed suit. But here’s the thing – neither of them got a farewell match.
You’d think the Indian cricket board would make a big deal about it, but so far, they’ve been pretty quiet. On the other hand, the Australian cricket board is planning a special farewell ceremony for the duo when the Indian team tours Down Under later this year. They’re set to play a three-match one-day international series, and Cricket Australia wants to make it a memorable trip for Rohit and Virat.
Cricket Australia’s Plan
Todd Greenberg, CEO of Cricket Australia, says they want to honor the incredible careers of these two cricketing greats. He’s not sure if this will be their last tour of Australia, but they want to make it special. Rohit and Virat have just retired from test cricket, but they’re still playing one-day internationals. Cricket Australia knows they could hang up their boots anytime, so they’re making the most of this opportunity.
- The farewell ceremony will be part of the one-day international series in Australia.
- Cricket Australia wants to make it a memorable experience for Rohit and Virat.
- The event will be a tribute to their outstanding contributions to cricket.
As one cricket fan tweeted, “FAREWELL FOR KOHLI AND ROHIT. Cricket Australia is planning a special farewell for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma during India’s ODI tour as it’ll potentially be their last matches Down Under.” The news has generated a lot of buzz on social media, with fans eager to see how Cricket Australia will pull off this tribute. One thing’s for sure – it’s going to be an emotional and exciting experience for everyone involved.
