Ashwin: Kohli won't be a coach, Rohit can after retirement
‘Virat won’t be a coach, Rohit can…’: Ashwin on duo’s post-retirement careers · indianexpress.com

R Ashwin is a famous Indian cricketer who used to play with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

He was talking about what the two superstars will do after they stop playing cricket.

Kohli and Rohit have already retired from two types of cricket: T20 games and Test matches.

Now they only play one-day international matches.

They want to play one last big tournament called the World Cup.

That World Cup will be held in Africa in late 2027.

Rohit will be 40 years old then, and Kohli will be almost 39.

Ashwin thinks their lives after cricket will be very different from each other.

He believes only one of them will keep working in the sport after playing.

In his view, Rohit could become a coach, but Virat won't be a coach.
