The last tournament that Rohit and Kohli played was the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai where the latter scored a hundred in a successful chase against Pakistan at the group stage, and Rohit starred with a sublime half-century in the chase during the final against New Zealand.
However, both have not played competitive cricket since the conclusion of the Indian Premier League earlier this year.
In August, while some media reports suggested that the BCCI was offering the duo a farewell game in Sydney on Oct. 25, a BCCI source familiar with the matter stated that no such discussions had taken place as of now, as reported by news agency PTI.
