Both Virat Kohli and Virat Kohli are still now the flagbearers of Indian cricket despite taking retirements from the Tests and T20 Internationals. And thus, the Board for Control of Cricket in India will not be altering their central contract gradation. For BCCI, they are still "active" cricketers even though available for just one format, which is the One Day Internationals. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been awarded A+ central contracts by the BCCI, joining Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja in the elite category. However, with their recent retirement from T20Is and limited participation expected in other formats, questions have been raised about whether the BCCI might consider downgrading their contracts, especially since they are now likely to feature only in ODIs. Meanwhile, the interim BCCI Secretary Devraj Salki informed ANI that Kohli and Rohit will continue being where they are. he said, "Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's grade A+ contract will continue even after both announced retirement from T20 and Test Matches. They are still part of Indian cricket, they will get all facilities of Grade A+."
