Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are having a difficult time with the bat in Test cricket. While Rohit had accumulated 31 runs in five innings in the Border-Gavaskar series, Kohli has 190 runs in nine innings.
While Kohli had two notable knocks of 100 in Perth and 36 in Melbourne, his other seven innings read 44. Rohit didn’t had any notable knock in the series and stepped away from the Sydney Test.
After stepping away from the SCG Test, Rohit said that he is not going anywhere and has not retired. Many still believe the road to England would be difficult for him. For Kohli, many feel he might be given a chance despite his recent failures and same mode of dismissals.
However, a former selector feels that the current selection committee might find it hard to pick the two stalwarts based on IPL performance. “It would be very hard for selectors to pick either Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli on the basis of IPL performance or form. Their has to be some red-ball cricket for them in lead-up to England tour. Else you can’t justify their selections,” the former selectors told PTI.
