He urged India to manage their workload wisely, especially in busy seasons. Afridi suggested that the team could rest the duo against weaker opposition and use those matches to test new talent.
“You need to preserve both these stars. When India play against weaker teams, they can give chances to new players and rest Virat and Rohit,” he said.
‘Records are meant to be broken’
Afridi also welcomed Rohit Sharma’s latest milestone. Former India captain recently broke Afridi’s long-standing tally for most sixes in ODIs, overtaking his 351 sixes during the second ODI against South Africa in Raipur. Rohit now has 355 sixes in 279 matches.
