Two of the biggest names in Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, have been under criticism for their recent form. Experts believe that considering his current performance, his future in Team India is uncertain.
- Rohit Sharma decided not to play in the Sydney Test due to poor form.
- Virat Kohli played, but once again proved to be a flop.
India now has to play the next Test series in England in June. In such a situation, it has become a big question on what basis these two great players will be selected.
Lack of participation in domestic cricket
Both Rohit and Virat do not participate in domestic cricket, which raises questions on their form and selection process.
- Good performance in domestic cricket plays an important role in selection.
- Consistent performance is necessary to retain a place in the team, but both these legends are not seen playing at this level.
Gautam Gambhir’s statement
After the Sydney Test defeat, when Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir was asked about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, he avoided giving a direct answer and said:
“I cannot comment on the future of any player. It depends on the players how much hunger and commitment they have. Hopefully he will try his best to take Indian cricket forward.”
Advice for playing domestic cricket
Gautam Gambhir gave clear advice to all the players of the team to play domestic cricket. He said:
“I would always like all the players to play domestic cricket. Everyone should remain committed to red ball cricket. If you don’t participate in domestic cricket, you will never get the results you want.”
Gambhir’s view on the team’s transition phase
When Gambhir was asked about the transition phase of the Indian team, he said that it is too early to discuss it.
“I don’t know where we will be in five months. It would not be right to talk about it at the moment.”
What will be the future of Rohit and Virat?
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s contribution to Indian cricket has been extraordinary, but their recent form has raised questions over their positions in the team.
- Rohit Sharma: Failure and poor form as captain can create problems for him.
- Virat Kohli: Continued poor performance may force the selectors to consider his future.
the way forward
This could be a transition phase for the Indian cricket team, where the priority will be to give opportunities to young players and expect consistent performance from the veterans. Gautam Gambhir’s advice that every player should prove his commitment in domestic cricket could play an important role in this process.
