"Both Will Fail When...": Fans Left Unimpressed By Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's Practice Video
NDTV
Senior India batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli managed a combined 27 runs across four innings during the India vs Australia 2nd Test.
The form of India's batting stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been massively discussed in recent months, with both batters suffering from inconsistency and getting out cheaply. While Kohli managed a hundred in good batting conditions in the first Test between India and Australia at Perth, the duo failed to contribute in the second Test at Adelaide, as India crashed to defeat. Now, a video of the duo practising in the nets ahead of the third Test does not seem to have raised the confidence of fans. Both will not play on field when it matters most Kohli is still playing the ones that should be left out. Another 15 runs contribution to Indian team. https://t.co/SKoTTrX9Td All this is to get caught behind/slips and to see your off stump getting uprooted. https://t.co/WMqC2l5mLj
In the second Test, Kohli and Rohit managed a combined 27 runs across four innings. The former got out on 7 and 11 respectively, while the latter only managed 3 and 6 in his two efforts.
Rohit has also given up his spot at the top of the order following KL Rahul's impressive showing as an opener, but evidently looked out of sorts at No. 6.
While the training video of the duo showed them blocking out balls, it did not do much to renew fans' hopes.
