New Delhi. The Indian cricket team is standing at such a juncture in the Border Gavaskar Trophy where no mistake will be tolerated anymore. To make it to the World Test Championship final, India needs to win at any cost. Team India’s biggest problem remains its two most experienced players. The bats of both captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli are not showing the same shine as before. Fans are used to seeing continuous runs from both of their bats but this has not happened till now. Virat and Rohit are getting out in the same manner continuously which is a cause for concern.
Every fan is waiting for the Boxing Day Test. The stadium will be packed with spectators and the maximum pressure will be on Indian captain Rohit Sharma along with his partner Virat Kohli. The recent form of both the batsmen is not what Team India expected on this tour. If the Indian team has to score big, then it is very important for both of them to play. Australian bowlers have caught the weakness of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and are forcing them to make mistakes again and again. In such a situation, both the giants will have to avoid repeating the mistake.
Australia caught Kohli’s weakness
Indian team’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli may have scored a century on this tour but he is getting out in the same manner again and again. He is facing difficulty in leaving the ball going out. Virat Kohli is getting out after hitting the ball on the stump line for the fifth and sixth consecutive time in this series. This veteran will have to stop playing his shots on the going ball so that he can save the wicket.
Rohit Sharma is repeating the same mistake
Australian bowlers have understood the weakness of Indian captain Rohit Sharma very well. This batsman, who bats in an explosive style, is having trouble with the incoming ball. The game plan of the Kangaroo bowlers is simple, they are continuously dismissing captain Rohit on this ball. The incoming ball will have to be defended otherwise the hitmen will keep losing their wickets.
