Endgame for Kohli & Rohit? šŸ›‘šŸ‡®šŸ‡³

Indian cricket fans are in for a shocker as whispers of Virat KohliĀ and Rohit SharmaĀ potentially hanging up their Test boots have surfaced. šŸ¤Æ According to ex-Aussie captain Michael Clarke, the iconic duo might call it quits if they fail to impress in the Border-Gavaskar TrophyĀ starting November 22.

Both stars are under scrutiny after a disastrous home series against New Zealand, where they managed a combined total of just 184 runs in 6 innings. Kohliā€™s average was a shocking 15.50, while Rohit barely edged past with 15.16. šŸ˜¬šŸ“‰

Clarkeā€™s Bold Take šŸŽ™ļøšŸ”„

Clarke didnā€™t mince his words when discussing their form. Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, he hinted that retirement, not a benching, awaits if the duo flops Down Under. ā€œIf itā€™s their last time here, it wonā€™t be because theyā€™re droppedā€”itā€™ll be retirement,ā€ Clarke said. šŸ›‘

But hold upā€”Clarke also backed them to thrive in Australian conditions. šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ

  • Rohit Sharma, the captain, is known for his proficiency against fast bowling, especially with his fearless hook shots. šŸ’ŖšŸ”„

  • Virat Kohli? Heā€™s a beast in Australia, averaging 50+Ā in 13 Tests with over 600 runsĀ under his belt. šŸšŸ‡®šŸ‡³

Whatā€™s at Stake? šŸ’„šŸ†

The Border-Gavaskar TrophyĀ is not just another series. Itā€™s a legacy showdown!With Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh HazlewoodĀ gunning for Indian wickets, the stakes are sky-high. šŸŽÆšŸ’Ø

Clarkeā€™s take:

  1. RohitĀ may get a captainā€™s cushion if his form falters. šŸ§¢

  2. Kohliā€™s decade-long dominanceĀ could buy him extra patience. šŸŒŸ

Still, Clarke was clear: no runs, no future. "Every cricketer knows the talk starts when you arenā€™t performing. But for Test cricketā€™s sake, I hope they both fire!" šŸ’¬

Why Fans Are Losing It šŸ˜±

  • Kohli-Rohit duo retiring?Ā That's two of the biggest names in Indian cricket possibly bowing out together! šŸ’”

  • Social media is already buzzing with #ThankYouKohli and #ThankYouRohit posts, anticipating what could be the end of an era. šŸ“²

Whatā€™s Next? šŸŒŸ
