Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli: Just 9 Joint Appearances In 2025 - Here's When
Two legendary cricketers of Team India, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, officially retired from T20 Internationals after the 2025 T20 World Cup. In May, both players also bid farewell to Test cricket, bringing an end to two remarkable chapters in their careers.
Now, fans will get to see them in action only in the ODI format, and even that will be limited. In 2025, Team India is scheduled to play just 9 ODI matches, and these are likely the only opportunities left to see Rohit and Virat together on the field this year.

Current Whereabouts of the Legends
After the IPL 2025, Virat Kohli traveled to London, where he currently resides with his family. He’s expected to return ahead of the ODI series. Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, is based in Mumbai and will also rejoin the squad when the time comes.
With fewer appearances on the horizon, fans will have to wait patiently for these rare moments when two of Indian cricket’s greatest will once again don the blue jersey together.
Virat and Rohit Eye 2027 ODI World Cup
Despite stepping away from T20Is and Tests in 2025, Indian cricket legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are reportedly planning to continue until the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Both players have expressed a strong desire to contribute to India’s World Cup campaign in South Africa, aiming to end their careers on the biggest stage.
While they will play limited ODIs in 2025, their focus is on maintaining peak fitness and form for the 50-over format.
The BCCI is expected to manage their workload carefully, ensuring they are available for key bilateral series and ICC events.
