BGT 2024 to decide Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Test Future?
Seniors and the most celebrated modern-day cricketers, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, are facing a tough time in test cricket. So let’s take a look at BGT 2024 to decide Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Test Future.
India’s recent home test series defeat against New Zealand exposed their poor run in the red-ball cricket. While many criticizing them to not taking part in India’s domestic cricket set-up, other questioning their approach and shot selection during their easy dismissals.
There is a high possibility that Rohit and Virat’s roles will be discussed after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting November 22.
Well, a good show in Australia, a series and WTC 2025 final ticket will put a shadow on their recent low performance, but if the Rohit-led fails to come up to expectations and misses to get a WTC final berth, both Rohit and Kohli may face heat.
However, the Indian team is hopeful for a great run in Australia with a 4-0 win down under would be sufficient to confirm their ticket to WTC final.
