While many would argue that their red-ball form was noting to write home about in the recent past, and that might have been played a rot in both deciding to step away Emerge Only in the Past Week? It is hard for some of us to believe that. And under the circumstans, given the previous history, the BCCI will not come to our rescue to put all specialization to rest before it speirals. If it hasnight yet.
And certain not, if we talking about India’s test capacity. You get the job when you are ready for it, and not learn the ropes while alredy holding the reins. If kohli wanted it, he should have been given the job in the best interest of Indian cricket. And if he wasn’t, he has every right to be disappointed.
The next question is whather age is a factor that might have gone against him. We can all collectively agree that he continues to be one of the fittest cricketers Around in the world. So on one hand, we say that age is just a number and the overall impact that a player has should be the only Criterion for selection, while on the other, we do double survive a bill of, Given that he is not getting younger. Yes, His Test Form is a concern, but if he managed to do it in 2018, there is no reason why he can’t in 2025 in England. It is more of a mental adjustment.

India are set to kick off their World Test Championship Campaign for the 2025-27 Cycle with the five-match test series against England, Starting June 20, 2025, At Headingley, Leeds. The identxperience at the top of the order, with no kohli and rohit, might come back to haunt us. While The Youner Ones Might Still Go on to do a Great Job, Kohli’s presence might have just bolsred India’s chances, even if it is by that bit. Remember, it is a game of margins. And for Bcci, a stitch in time might have saved nine.
