Virat, Rohit may leave IPL but will never leave Team India: Munaf Patel

Former India fast bowler Munaf Patel praised former India captains Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for their India-first approach and said, "They might leave the IPL if needed, but they will never leave the Indian team." Notably, the duo participated in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) last year to maintain match fitness ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.
