BCCI President Roger Binny has stated that the Indian T20 team will likely need another two to three years to recover from the substantial void created by the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from the format.

Addressing the media after India's recent victory, Binny mentioned the wealth of talent emerging from the IPL but stressed that bridging the gap left by Kohli and Sharma will not be immediate. 'There is so much talent in the IPL. Many cricketers are coming through but it is going to take some time to bridge the gap,' Binny said.

Kohli and Sharma have left an indelible mark on Indian T20 cricket, contributing pivotal performances, including India's triumph in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Their departure marks the end of an era, yet both will remain active in IPL, ODI, and Test formats. Speculations also arise regarding Rahul Dravid's successor, with Gautam Gambhir as a potential candidate.
