Rohit Sharma is 39 years old. Virat Kohli will turn 38 on November 5. But both are in optimal fitness at this age. Even at the age of 38 and 39, RO-KO is showing youthful agility. Both showed their spirit in the Auckland ODI, the latest example of their agility. First Rohit failed, then Virat Kohli created a sensation. Let’s see how the agility of Rohit and Virat weighed heavily on New Zealand in the Auckland ODI.
38-39 age of RO-KO Jalva
Rohit Sharma showed his agility by running out Daryl Mitchell in the 22nd over of New Zealand’s innings. On the first ball of the over bowled by Akshar Patel, Glenn Phillips played a shot and tried to take a quick single. He and Daryl Mitchell at non-striker’s end ran into the effort. But his trick failed against Rohit Sharma.

Strong fielding from Rohit Sharma
The 39-year-old Rohit Sharma caught the ball quickly and flicked it to wicketkeeper KL Rahul. As soon as Rahul took the catch, he blew the bells at the striker’s end. As a result, Darryl Mitchell, running in from the non-striker’s end, was run out by a powerful throw from Rohit Sharma. This is the first time Daryl Mitchell has been run out in an ODI.

Virat Kohli took a great catch
After Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli also did amazing. Virat Kohli became Superman on the field. Virat Kohli took a brilliant catch of Nathan Smith off Anshul Kamboj. On the third ball of the 29th over of New Zealand’s innings, Kohli dived to his right and took a powerful catch with just one hand.
