Rohit Sharma ad Virat Kohli signed off their international comeback with a chase for the ages in the dead rubber third ODI against Australia on Saturday (Oct 25) in Sydney. The duo had faced intense scrutiny after failing in the first ODI of the three-match series which India lost 2-1. While Rohit did manage to score a fifty in second ODI, Kohli bagged two consecutive ducks in the first two matches. The next question about Kohli and Rohit is how do they keep themselves in match-ready mode and ODI skipper Shubman Gill has an opined on the topic.

"Right now, we haven't had any discussions. There's not much of a gap left for the South Africa series," said the ODI skipper on Rohit and Kohli potentially playing domestic cricket. "There's a bit of a gap between the South Africa and New Zealand series. We will have discussions after the South Africa series, and we will decide on how to keep the players in touch," he explained.
