Sehwag on Virat-Rohit: cricket's appeal persists beyond individual stars

Virender Sehwag told the Times of India in an article published on September 26, 2026 that cricket's appeal persists even after major players retire, in remarks about Virat and Rohit.

He said past retirements have not reduced the sport's viewership and credited the advent of mobile technology with broadening cricket's reach.

He added that while the number of dedicated fans may wane, overall enthusiasm for cricket remains vibrant and its charm transcends the presence of individual stars.
