Harbhajan Singh On Rohit and Kohli: The former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh is very eager to see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli on the field in the Australia tour, commencing on October 19. The star duo was last seen in the Indian jersey during the Champions Trophy 2025 and after that announced their retirement from test cricket.
Currently, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s main target is to win the ODI World Cup 2027. But the question is whether they will be playing till the next World Cup or not. According to the latest reports, the upcoming Australia series might turn out to be the last series of the star duo.
Harbhajan Singh On Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli
Recently, Harbhajan Singh opened up on Kohli’s fitness that is being questioned nowadays. The former cricketer stated that he wanted to see Virat play a bit longer in ODIs, and he feels that he could have continued to play Test cricket for four to five years more.
He said,
“Please don’t ask any questions about Virat’s fitness. When it comes to fitness, he’s a guru. Everyone follows what he does. There’s absolutely no concern about Virat Kohli’s fitness; he’s fit, probably fitter than many of those currently playing alongside him. In today’s international cricket, he’s arguably the fittest player out there. Now, I’m just looking forward to seeing Virat back in action.”
“Fans have missed watching him, and personally, I’d love to see him continue playing the One-Day International format for a while longer because he still has so much to offer. When he retired from Test cricket, I genuinely felt he still had four to five years left in him, not just to play, but to dominate because that’s the kind of batter he is.”
Harbhajan Singh Predicts Big Score For Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli
The former cricketer also stated that he wants Rohit and Kohli to score big runs in the upcoming tour against Australia.
He said,
“He’s now heading to Australia, his favorite place to bat, and I’m sure he’ll once again show his mettle there. We’ve seen him score tons of runs in those conditions before, and I believe he’ll do it again. The same goes for Rohit; I’m looking forward to both these legends scoring heavily for India and helping the team win matches.”

Further, Harbhajan Singh said,
“Some players thrive when things get difficult; that’s when they bring out their best. And Virat Kohli is one of those players. He shines on big occasions, and that’s what sets him apart from others. He waits for those big opportunities, those high-pressure games, and that’s when he shows why he’s a champion.”
“When you perform against the best, that’s when you earn respect, and he’s earned that, especially after scoring those hundreds in Australia and taking on the responsibility of leading the team. Those are the challenges he looks forward to. Australia is his favorite hunting ground, and now he’s making his comeback after the IPL. I’m really looking forward to seeing him bat in those three ODIs, and hopefully, out of those three, he gets at least two centuries for India.”
Virat Kohli has scored 1327 runs in 29 matches in Australia at an average of 51. Harbhajan Singh feels that these are the conditions in which Kohli will be stepping up and smashing hundreds in three games.
