A New Era Begins

With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stepping away from Test cricket in 2025, Indian cricket is undergoing a generational shift. It’s emotional, yes — but also exciting. Because in every goodbye, there’s a fresh hello.

So, who are the “hellos” of Indian cricket? Who will carry the torch, break records, and steal our hearts next?

Indian cricket’s next chapter is thrilling — not because of one or two players, but because of a core group of young guns who are ready to take over. They’re not just talented, they’re mentally strong, technically polished, and hungry for greatness.

We cried when Dhoni, Kohli, and Rohit began to step away. But we’ll cheer louder when these stars script a new history.
