RANCHI: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak reflected on the speculation surrounding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's ODI futures and said he could not understand why the duo's longevity was being debated at all, given their current form.
Kohli was at his vintage best as he scored his 52nd ODI century (135 off 120) on Sunday in India's 17-run victory in the first ODI of the three-match series against South Africa.
He shared a 136-run partnership with former captain Rohit Sharma (57) and appeared in excellent form as he reached a century for the first time in 50-over cricket since his superb unbeaten century against Pakistan at the ICC Champions Trophy in February.
