New Delhi. The Indian cricket team had to face a shameful defeat of 1-3 in the 5-match series on the tour of Australia. Team India, which started with a win in the Perth Test, could not win even a single match after this. During the series, there was a lot of talk about the form of captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Rohit kept himself out of the playing eleven in the last test. After the Sydney Test, when coach Gautam Gambhir was asked about the future of both the legends, he shrugged it off.

Virat Kohli was heavily targeted due to his consecutive dismissals in the same manner in the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Captain Rohit Sharma himself decided not to play the Sydney Test match due to poor form. However, even after taking this difficult step, he could not lead the team to victory. Due to poor batting in just three days, India had to lose the series by losing by 6 wickets. If India had managed to win the Sydney match, they could have leveled the series 2-2.

What did Gambhir say on the future of Rohit-Kohli?
After the end of the Sydney Test match, coach Gautam Gambhir had arrived to answer the questions of the media. He shrugged off questions about the future of captain Rohit Sharma and star batsman Virat Kohli after the series. Gambhir said- Look, both of them are such senior players. He must be well aware of how much hunger he still has inside him.

I can’t say anything about the future of any player, let alone Virat or Rohit. Any player knows himself best. I hope that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will do whatever they have been doing till now to take Indian cricket forward.
