The BCCI wants Rohit Sharma to make up his mind about his future, while Virat Kohli is set to receive a longer rope.

India coach Gautam Gambhir said Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have much to offer the team despite their poor run of form in recent matches, stressing the veteran duo will play a key role in this month's Champions Trophy.

T20I series win against England, the Indian team is gearing up for the three-match ODI series against the same opposition, which will serve as a crucial test for India’s ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 campaign.

Virat ended the last year with just 655 international runs in 23 matches and 32 innings, averaging 21.83, with a century and two fifties to his name. His best score was 100*.

India’s Champions Trophy campaign begins on February 20. Before that they will play a three-match ODI series against England. This series will be a chance for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to get into form before the big event.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking at the bigger picture now and has asked skipper Rohit Sharma do decide on his future plans after the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy. The Indian skipper is under heavy scrutiny for his inexplicable loos of form for quite some time now.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's form will be critical to Team India's chances in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 later this month.
