Ashwin, Jadeja are marathon players for us: Rohit Sharma

TIL Desk Sports/ Ravichandran Ashwin claimed 25 wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja bagged 22 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, guiding the Indian team to a 2-1 series win.

So, when India captain Rohit Sharma was asked whether the duo would be around when the next edition of the series happens about four years later. Rohit called them ‘marathon men’.

Rohit has always retained his sense of humour but he is also very practical about certain aspects of his game and career. The next Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India is in 2027 (Australia will host in 2025) and the lethal combination of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin might not be around in four years’ time.

“I don’t know honestly if they (Jaddu-Ash) will be around. I don’t know if I will be around. Four years is a long time. Honestly, for the sake of Indian cricket, I hope they stay and play a lot of cricket. Both of them are marathon players for us.
