Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are two of the most successful batsmen in the history of Indian cricket. Both players have achieved great things in their careers and are still going strong.

However, both players are also in their mid-30s, and it is natural to wonder how long they will continue to play international cricket.

Both Kohli and Sharma will play in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, which will be held in India. However, it is unclear how much longer they will continue to play after that.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly did not want to get into the emotional part of it and said that performances will judge their longevity.

“I don’t believe too much in last time, first time. I believe in performances. I think they are 34-35, I don’t know what’s going to happen in the next World Cup. There are world tournaments every year – T20 cricket, 50-over cricket,” he said on Star Sports.

“It’s not like as in the past when we started – one every four years and then the Champions Trophy came in. So it’s about performances and I am sure Rohit as captain and Virat will be wanting to make it a big one not from a personal point of view but from winning it. I think that’s the biggest,” he added.
