Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja will be playing in their third Champions Trophy, while Virat Kohli will feature in his 4th edition of the mega event. All of them were part of the Indian team which lifted the coveted prize in 2013, under MS Dhoni's captaincy. However, former Indian opener Aakash Chopra predicts the 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy could be the last straw for the legendary trio. End of an era for Rohit, Virat and Jaddu? All three of the aforementioned greats had announced their retirement from T20 cricket after the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph in June. The next ICC event will be the T20 World Cup next year, but Rohit, Virat and Ravindra have retired from the format. With India failing to qualify for the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final, the next ICC event in which the Indian team will participate will be the 2027 ODI World Cup. But Chopra feels the probability of all three players surviving for the next two years is slim. "I am saying with a heavy heart… There is a strong possibility. The Champions Trophy is about to happen and after that, there will be another ICC event this year, which is the WTC (World Test Championship) final and we haven't reached there. So none among Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja will play that," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. ODI World Cup 2027 too far away: Chopra "After that, the ICC event next year is the T20 World Cup but all three have retired from that format. So all three won't play there as well. The ODI World Cup will be in 2027, which is a bit too far. The world will look very different by 2027. I think the players also feel this could be their last," he added. All three Rohit, Virat and Jadeja have been India's pillars but they are not getting any younger. With players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh among others, waiting in the wings, it remains to be seen how long the trio will continue playing. Not that the fans would complain if they continue to play, all three of them will be crucial to India's hopes of winning the Champions Trophy 2025. Furthermore, Rohit, Virat and Jadeja were all on song during the recently concluded ODI series against England, showing they still have plenty to offer.Original Article
