Former cricketer Robin Uthappa has questioned the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Test cricket earlier this year, suggesting it was not a 'natural exit.' Uthappa noted that Rohit's decision followed reports of captaincy removal, while Kohli's was more surprising, with some suggesting attempts to persuade him otherwise. Both players are now reportedly focusing on their ODI careers with an eye on the 2027 World Cup.
