Former Indian cricketer puts faith in Rohit, Kohli ahead of Champions Trophy
Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has shown greater faith in the abilities of star duo Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli ahead of the upcoming Champions trophy. Kaif underlined the fact that both stars, who have played vital roles in India’s victories in high-profile events in the past, will play their decisive roles in India’s victory at the Champions Trophy.
Of late, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been under tremendous pressure due to their lackluster performances, but Kaif has asked the fans to pray for them and back them.
"You need Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Rohit is 37 years old and Kohli is 36 years old. They are not going to play for longer. Whatever they play, pray for them, back them. They are two great white ball players. They are not going to play for a long time. I believe whatever they will play, they will play well,” Kaif said on his YouTube Channel.
“They will contribute a lot to the upcoming Champions Trophy. If they play well, you will win the matches in Dubai. Rohit Sharma gives a fast start. Virat Kohli takes advantage of that start and bat till the end,” Kaif said.
The Champions Trophy will begin on February 19. The blockbuster event is scheduled to be played in Pakistan and UAE. Pakistan are the host nation but India will be playing their matches in UAE.
