There is an altogether fresh buzz in Indian cricket as two of its favorites are returning to blue colors. After a gap of more than 7 months, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be joining the Indian ODI setup for the upcoming tour of Australia.

The final squad for the tour is not announced, but the return of the modern superstars of Indian cricket is very certain. Both, Sharma and Kohli, announced their retirements from the T20I format last year after being crowned champions in the 2024 T20 World Cup.

This is why the pair wasn’t present at the recently concluded Asia Cup. The duo, to their fans’ shock and disappointment, also announced an untimely retirement from Test cricket this May and were not part of the highly engrossing English series.

The only format that they have still not said goodbye to, to their fans’ delight, is ODI cricket. Both Kohli and Sharma have been giants of the 50-over format and have ruled over the past 10-15 years. If everything has to go as per expected plan, the pair will be seen in action for the first time since the Champions Trophy on October 19 in the first ODI against Australia at Perth.
