Cric Chat! Is it high time to drop Rohit and Virat from Test side

The main query that remains is, what follows next? Although the scars from a home series whitewash might fade eventually, the evident flaws revealed throughout this series will be hard to overlook.

Cric Chat! Is it high time to drop Rohit and Virat from Test side

Virat and Rohit's recent performance has been worrisome for the team

Only three weeks ago, everything appeared ideal for Rohit Sharma and his squad. They had accomplished the unthinkable against Bangladesh in Kanpur and were expected to triumph in the New Zealand series. Nevertheless, three weeks later, India faces a difficult scenario with more inquiries than solutions.

The main query that remains is, what follows next? Although the scars from a home series whitewash might fade eventually, the evident flaws revealed throughout this series will be hard to overlook.

Rohit’s lack of application in Tests visible

For instance, during Rohit Sharma’s latest innings, he misplayed his trademark pull shot on two occasions in rapid succession, barely avoiding being out. His deficiency in defensive skills and failure to construct significant innings are worrisome. His achievement as a Test opener arose from his patience and skill in leaving deliveries outside his off-stump.

Although aggressive shots have consistently been included in his gameplay, they were played with strategy. Nonetheless, depending only on aggressive shots in Test cricket, particularly as an opener, is hazardous. Rohit’s habit of taking shots prematurely and failing to hit the line has negatively impacted his performance.

Increasing age- a factor

The reduced performance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be linked to their increasing age and waning abilities. At 37, Rohit’s reflexes have diminished, impacting his capacity to score big runs and remain at the crease for long durations. His difficulties facing fast bowlers, in particular, have been apparent in recent games.

Virat has performed, but in patches

Conversely, Virat Kohli’s difficulties appear to arise from an absence of confidence and consistency. Even after experimenting with different methods, he has yet to regain his form. His inclination to be run out and struggles against spinners, particularly left-arm ones, underscore his present difficulties.

Both players have opted for short-term changes in their gameplay, which might not be viable over time. Kohli’s difficulties with footwork and shot choices have been highlighted on turning pitches, making his situation more challenging. Although striving for improvement, the expected outcomes have not emerged.

It seems that Rohit and Kohli are undergoing a challenging period in their careers, as their weaknesses are becoming increasingly evident. Even if they succeed in upcoming tours, their weaknesses will persist. Tackling their technical shortcomings at this point might become a challenging endeavor.

Conclusion

Keeping in mind the performance of these 2 legends and the emergence of young stars like Yashaswi, Gill and Pant, will Virat and Kohli call time or give it a longer rope to prove doubters wrong.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
