Harbhajan Singh speaks on Rohit, Kohli’s international future
Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh recently shared his views on the careers of current Indian veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Harbhajan is of the belief that both players have the potential to continue their careers for few more years, thanks to their exceptional fitness levels.
"Rohit can easily play for two more years. You never know with Virat Kohli's fitness, you can see him competing for five years. He is probably the fittest guy in the team," Harbhajan told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview.
"You ask any 19-year-old competing with Virat (on fitness). Virat will beat him. He is that fit. I believe Virat and Rohit have a lot of cricket left in them and it is entirely up to them. If they are fit enough, they are performing and the team is winning, they should continue to play. As simple as that," he said.
Harbhajan further underscored the importance of both players in the red-ball format.
"Red ball cricket, you really need these two guys to play a little bit more than what people are asking. You need experience in all formats whether its limited overs cricket and Test cricket. You need experienced cricketers to nurture the talent that is coming up.
India recently suffered the series defeat against Sri Lanka in the three-match ODI series after losing second and third game. Harbhajan shared his views on the series, crediting Sri Lanka for their performance.
"It was one of those things. Sometimes you win it, sometimes you lose it. It's sports after all. All teams go through these periods. You play well but you still don't win. I will give credit to Sri Lanka. They played well. They played better than India."
