Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly has spoken out in support of speculated ODI retirements concerning Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. According to Ganguly, performance should dictate the careers of the acclaimed batsmen. Both players boast exceptional records in the fifty-overs format, countering retirement rumors.
