India’s two biggest batting stars, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, gave fans huge smiles on their faces ahead of the first ODI of the five-game series in Auckland, which begins on November 4. India recently engaged in a five-T20I series, which they led 3-1 before the fifth and final T20I in Hamilton.  

During India’s training session in Auckland, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma caught everyone's attention with their strong bond and cheerful mood.

On social media, images and videos of Kohli and Rohit hanging out at Eden Park went viral. Following their practice session at Eden Park in Auckland on Sunday, November 1, the former Indian captains were spotted conversing, laughing, and enjoying each other's company.

Since they have already retired from Test and T20I cricket, their laid-back demeanor once again demonstrated their unique camaraderie, providing fans with one more lovely moment to savor before their final appearance in New Zealand. After the 2027 ICC ODI World Cup, their ODI careers may come to an end.
