India’s biggest cricket stars, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, have begun a new chapter of their careers. Having retired from T20Is and Rahul Dravid gone, the two modern greats have started their second inning under new head coach Gautam Gambhir. Having been requested to join the Indian cricket team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, the duo arrived on July 30 and started to get back into the groove.
