The End of an Era: Remembering Kohli and Rohit- exclusive story
- By Dr. AK Rana
It was inevitable, yet it still feels like a shock. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma — two names that were not just part of Indian cricket but defined an entire era — have announced their retirement from Test cricket.
Fans across the world weren’t ready for this. And maybe, no one ever is.
For many of us, watching cricket and watching them play were never two different things.
Being a fan of cricket and being a fan of them — it was all the same.
…
No matter how logical or intellectual one tries to be,
the truth hits hard:
cricket will never feel quite the same again.
Their departure doesn’t just mark a retirement;
it marks the end of an era!
Nothing lasts forever.
We always knew they wouldn’t be there always — but still, when they ran between the wickets, sent the ball to the boundary, and celebrated every hard-fought victory, it felt eternal.
Their love for cricket will never fade, nor will the love their fans carry in their hearts.
For decades, they were not just players — they were emotions, stories, and memories rolled into one. And now, without them, the cricket ground will feel barren.
…
Yes, there will be matches, and
yes, there will be players — but no more Rohit and Kohli.
No more of them.
It’s a sad moment.
Sad for every cricket fan who’s seeing their heroes depart.
Of course, someone new to cricket will adjust.
They’ll find their own heroes, the ones they’ll grow up with. And someday, they’ll feel this same piercing pain when their icons leave. That’s the cycle of sport.
Some fans move on, some leave watching altogether, and some make space in their hearts for new favourites.
But for us, today, it’s grief.
Because when your favourite players retire — not just favourites but legends who redefined the game — it feels like the sport itself has changed.
Like cricket has lost a little bit of its soul.
Virat and Rohit — you will always be missed.
You made cricket not just a game but a feeling.
And for that, fans will be forever grateful.
