Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Reflect on Their Partnership and 'Ro-Ko' NicknamePreviousNext

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two of India's leading ODI batsmen, continue to share a strong camaraderie as they play only the 50-over format following their retirements from T20Is and Tests. The duo, often referred to as 'Ro-Ko,' laugh off the popular nickname and emphasize their ongoing communication and mutual support on and off the field. Both have reflected on their long-standing partnership since their debuts in 2007 and 2008, highlighting their shared commitment to the team and respect for each other's contributions.
