Is Ajit Agarkar Sending Mixed Signals on the RoKo Comeback?

Ajit Agarkar recently made some statements on the comeback of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to the Indian team. His statement was not good for the fans, but it also seems to contradict what they see on the internet, creating a ruckus.

But with the announcement of the squad, both names were not there in the list, meaning that the fans would have to wait till 19 October 2025 to watch them in action. Amidst this, the BCCI Selection Committee Chairman, Ajit Agarkar, has made some statements regarding their selection in the team, which are a bit contradictory to the fans.

When the squad for India A was announced by the BCCI, fans might not have seen any other name; instead, they tried finding the names of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. With both names missing from the India A’s squad against Australia A, it has raised some serious questions for the selection committee.

According to some recent reports, "Chief selector Ajit Agarkar recently spoke to Virat Kohli regarding his future in ODIs, but Kohli’s silence has raised some concerns. The team management had hoped for both Rohit Sharma and Kohli to feature in the India A 50-over series against Australia A.”

RoKo Status vs Agarkar’s Claim

While the statement has already been made by Ajit Agarkar, the Indian fans have seen it to contradict the status of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. For this, they have listed down several reasons too, which showcase that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are available and eager to play for the team.

Along with that, Abhishek Nayar, who was a part of the Indian coaching staff, was also seen having workout sessions with the Hitman, and his videos are all over the internet. Not just Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli also participated actively in the activities which were held by the BCCI.

Since Kohli was not able to travel back to India for the Tests, his Bronco and YoYo test took place in London itself, as some officials from the BCCI were sent to record his scores. Reportedly, Kohli broke his personal best YoYo Test score and even passed the Bronco Test. Sunil Chhetri, a former Indian footballer, also that Kohli texted him about his fitness test scores.

Agarkar vs RoKo Leaves Fans Confused

The contradictory statements passed by Ajit Agarkar on the selection of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli leave the fans stranded in the middle. With the ODI series against Australia approaching, the Indian fans are in high hopes that they will finally see RoKo together after a long time.
