Let's make no mistake, the IPL is no less intense than international cricket in terms of pressure.

It’s said that vintage wine tastes better with age - and in the ever-evolving, youth-driven world of T20 cricket, this week of IPL 2025 proved exactly that. Amid the emergence of teenage sensations and new-age power-hitters, it was the seasoned stalwarts of Indian cricket - Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - who turned back the clock and reminded the world why they are still the beating heart of Indian cricket.

The Rohit-Virat magic wasn’t just about two greats scoring runs. This was about resilience and a deep connection with the craft they’ve honed over decades. In a format often seen as a breeding ground for young guns vying for national honours, these two kings made their comeback look poetic.
