Amid the reports of Team India stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announcing their retirements from ODIs soon, former cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that the duo retired from the wrong format and should have drawn curtains on the One-Dayers.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, "The truth is that they have said goodbye to the wrong format. They had left T20Is after winning the T20 World Cup, but the story might have been different had they continued to play Tests and said goodbye to ODIs. India played only six ODIs in 12 months before the Champions Trophy".
