Rohit Sharma vs. Virat Kohli: BCCI’s New Plans

The BCCI is shaking things up for Indian cricket lovers. With the Bangladesh Test series a few days away, speculation for what was to be a possible battle between arguably the two biggest stars of cricket, Rohit Sharma versus Virat Kohli, has been going around, and in the middle of all this comes the interesting development of an upcoming Duleep Trophy—one of the main domestic tournaments.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are supposed to return to the field as the Duleep Trophy takes off on September 5. It is one of the finest contests, allowing players to express themselves before any international match. Still, this time, the BCCI selection committee pits the two cricket legends against each other.

Duleep Trophy: Rohit vs. Kohli in All-Star Format

This time, the Duleep Trophy is going to witness a sea of change. Instead of the general zonal format wherein the teams are divided based on geographical regions, now there will be four all-star squads: India A, B, C, and D. Indeed, this is going to include even Rohit and Kohli playing against each other. Imagine the thrill of seeing them on opposite sides.

Apart from Rohit and Kohli, several other big boys are expected to turn out for the tournament. Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, and Kuldeep Yadav have been asked for their availableness. The Congress is promising a high-quality tournament that is bound to be watched with interest by fans and selectors alike.

Duleep Trophy Excitement and Venue Update

Add to that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli leading separate teams, and the excitement gets multiplied several times. For those used to the old Challenger Series days of Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid battling it out, fans are keen to find out if this format does raise the same kind of exhilarating cricket.

The Duleep Trophy is normally played at different places, and the venue for this year’s edition has yet to be finalized. Though there was talk of having it at Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, there is a buzzing rumor about shifting some of the matches to M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, as this would make it easier to access. It would be easier for the fans to watch the action then.

Training Camp and Bangladesh Series

The planning of the training camp in Chennai ahead of the Bangladesh series will probably include both Rohit and Kohli if everything goes according to plan, whereby they can be fitted into the opening rounds of the Duleep Trophy. As far as preparations for the upcoming tests are concerned, this can work out very well.

Now, once the Duleep Trophy is over, the streak culminates in the high-point series against Bangladesh. This two-match series commences on September 19 and marks the beginning of the home season for India. With Rohit and Kohli getting ready, the team is looking to start strong and set the tone for the season.

BCCI’s Exciting Cricket Lineup

The fans wait with bated breath. This will be an opportunity to see Rohit and Kohli in domestic action before the big tests. Their potential face-off in the Duleep Trophy will make it a watch-to-see event for the domestic season or just an absolute treat for cricket lovers.

The new plan that the BCCI has come up with for the Duleep Trophy and the Bangladesh series has set the stage for some really interesting months. Cricket lovers will look forward to witnessing star players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli pit against each other in the tournament and the coming international series. As the season rolls out, it would be worth watching how these changes impact Indian cricket.
