Former Australian cricketer Shane Watson has shown faith in Indian stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, downplaying concerns about their recent Test cricket performances. Watson is confident that their current form will not influence their contributions in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
He remarked, “I don’t think it (current poor form) will really play a part at all with Rohit Sharma and Virat’s impact in one-day cricket. It’s going to be different conditions where they’re playing in Dubai. One-day cricket does really free them both as well.”
Watson specifically lauded Kohli, calling him an “absolute master of one-day cricket,” and highlighted his outstanding ODI record of 13,906 runs at an average of 58.18, including 50 centuries and 72 half-centuries.
His comments come as India gears up for the Champions Trophy, with both seasoned players anticipated to play crucial roles in the tournament.
