Indian captain Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli made crucial contributions after India was asked to bat by Pat Cummins in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on Sunday. While Rohit Sharma made a quickfire 31-ball 47, Virat Kohli was dismissed for a well-made 54 from 63 deliveries at Ahmedabad.

It is likely that Kohli and Sharma, two modern greats of the game, have batted in an ICC World Cup for the last time. 36-year-old Rohit and 35-year-old Virat are unlikely to feature in the next edition of the quadrennial event. 

The duo, however, had a memorable tournament at home and remain the two leading run-getters. While the half-century helped Virat Kohli to further cement his place as the top scorer of the tournament (765 runs), Rohit finished his campaign three runs short of 600.

Australian opener David Warner, who has 528 runs to his credit, got a realistic chance to topple Rohit from the second spot.
