Harbhajan Predicts Kohli's Longevity, Sharma's Continued Presence

Former Indian cricket legend Harbhajan Singh believes that Virat Kohli's exceptional physical condition will allow him to continue playing international cricket for another five years. He also expressed his opinion that Rohit Sharma, the current captain of the Indian team in both Test and ODI formats, can continue playing for at least two more years.

Harbhajan emphasized Kohli's remarkable fitness, stating that he is "probably the fittest guy in the team." He believes that Kohli's fitness will enable him to withstand the rigors of international cricket for an extended period.

Regarding Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan said, "Rohit can easily play for two more years." He highlighted the importance of experience in Test cricket, stating that both Kohli and Sharma are crucial players in this format.

Harbhajan stressed the need for selectors to balance experience with performance. He said, "If someone is not performing well, they should be dropped, whether they are senior players or juniors." However, he emphasized that as long as players are fit and contributing, they should continue to be selected.

Harbhajan also acknowledged the hunger and determination of younger players, saying, "Youngsters have much more hunger than the seniors." He praised the opportunities being given to Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill.

Despite India's recent 0-2 defeat against Sri Lanka in the ODI series, Harbhajan downplayed its significance. He said, "It was one of those things. Sometimes you win it, sometimes you lose it. It's sports after all." He commended Sri Lanka for playing better than India.
