New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel has thrown his weight behind Indian cricket legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, stating that both icons have the right to decide their own ODI futures amid growing speculation over their potential retirements following India's recent Champions Trophy triumph.
Patel, who is currently in India as part of New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's delegation, acknowledged the immense contributions of the two batting greats and stressed that their decision should be respected.
