A viral video featuring Virat Kohli engaged in a serious conversation with former India spinner and current selector Pragyan Ojha has taken social media by storm. The clip, now circulating across multiple platforms, has triggered intense speculation among fans, many of whom believe the discussion could be linked to ongoing rumours surrounding the uncertain futures of Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the Indian squad.
Both stalwarts are currently part of the three-match ODI series against South Africa. India lead the series 1-0 after a hard-fought win in Ranchi, a match defined by Kohli’s majestic 52nd ODI century and Rohit Sharma’s brisk 57. The second ODI is scheduled for Wednesday at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, where expectations around the duo are already sky-high.

Kohli and Rohit, despite the noise, continue to respond with performances. Kohli’s century in the series opener showcased his hunger, while Rohit’s aggressive knock helped set up India’s 17-run win after a spirited South African chase. With the 2027 ODI World Cup approaching, both senior batters remain determined to prove their value, even as reports suggest rising friction between them and head coach Gautam Gambhir.

The selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, has been cautious when addressing their long-term roles. Both Agarkar and Gambhir have avoided confirming their World Cup plans for the veterans, inadvertently intensifying public curiosity and adding layers to the ongoing narrative.
Yet, beyond individual futures and backstage speculation, India face broader challenges despite their opening victory. Their bowling depth, middle-order consistency, and adaptability against aggressive opponents will remain key talking points as the series progresses.
