‘One door closes, another opens…’: Former England legend praised India for coming up with talented players when needed

“Look, one door closes, another one opens. You can’t expect, great players or any players to play on forever. There is a time when they decide that they’ve had enough or come to retirement or whatever,” Graham said.

“Those two players you mentioned (Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli), have been wonderful servants for India and for our great game. It’s time for other people to step in. I think the young Indian players have done brilliantly,” he added.

“The captain (Shubman Gill) has been outstanding. He looks a real class act with the willow and hopefully he’ll get many, many more Test runs and get many victories for India in the future. So I think the team’s in good hands,” he concluded.

Indian team witnessed a transition to a new era as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin retired from Test cricket. This led to young players being named in the team and shifting of roles, with Shubman Gill being named as captain and Rishabh Pant being the vice-captain.
