R Ashwin Warns Virat Kohli: Former Indian cricket team spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a big statement about star batsman Virat Kohli. Ashwin says that if Virat Kohli does not perform consistently in the coming months, then the same thing can happen to him which is being discussed to happen to Rohit Sharma. He said that the atmosphere of the current team indicates that the place of any big player is not completely safe.

According to recent reports, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has indicated to Rohit Sharma that the team can move towards the future after the three-match ODI series being played against England. The report also claimed that the selectors want to give Yashasvi Jaiswal a longer time to prepare for the 2027 ODI World Cup. This news has created a lot of discussion in the cricket world because Rohit Sharma was batting well in recent times.

Ashwin praised Virat Kohli’s batting a lot

While talking on his YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin said that after a long time he has seen Virat Kohli batting so brilliantly. This year Virat has scored 310 runs in five ODI matches. Despite this, Ashwin believes that he will have to maintain this rhythm continuously. He also said that Rohit Sharma’s performance was also not bad, hence the news regarding his future has surprised everyone.

Support players should be respected

Ashwin said that the selectors have every right to make changes in the team, but the players who have served the country for two decades should be treated with respect. He reminded that shortly after the news broke about Rohit Sharma’s Test future in 2025, he had retired and after that Virat Kohli had also said goodbye to Test cricket. Ashwin believes that information about such big decisions should be given directly to the players, so that they can take the next decision of their career with respect.
