“Virat Kohli has won those matches for India, and I have seen it with my own eyes, you can’t imagine, the kind of performances he has produced for India. The same goes for Rohit Sharma. The way he is leading the team. He led the team outstandingly in the 2023 (ODI) World Cup and won the T20 World Cup,” he added further.

Sarfaraz believes that both the players have the right to say their goodbyes to the sport when they think is the right time and India should build a team around them till then. “Let them play and let them decide what they want to do. You should make your team around them. The way they bid adieu to T20Is, they will do it for other formats when they feel it is time. You should not make a team by removing them, you should make teams by including them,” he said.
