Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both the biggest names of Indian cricket. One is the heart of current cricket and the other is its heartbeat. But, the problem is that both the heart and heartbeat are not functioning well. This is the reason why Team India is on the verge of losing its first Test series at home after 12 years. But, the danger is not only of losing the series to New Zealand but also of losing the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Therefore, now the time has come for both Rohit and Virat to change their gear.
Rohit-Virat conflict becomes headache!
Even though Team India has won the Test series played at home this year, under the cover of those victories, the ongoing struggle of Rohit and Virat in red ball cricket cannot be ignored. Their struggle has been visible throughout this year in Test cricket. Both Rohit and Virat are the backbone of Team India and if they become weak then Team India may face a lot of problems. Even if the Indian team somehow wins at home, weaving the fabric of victory in Australia may prove to be a difficult task.
Rohit's test record in 2024
Now the question is, what will be the test record of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in red ball cricket in the year 2024? If we look at the statistics of captain Rohit Sharma, he has scored 551 runs at an average of 32.41 in the 18 Test innings played so far this year. He has scored single digit score 6 times in 18 innings. He also scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries.

Virat's test record in 2024
Talking about Virat Kohli, he has scored 228 runs in 9 Test innings played in the year 2024 at an average of 28.5. Virat Kohli has not scored a single century during this period. His wait for a century once again seems to be going on for a long time. At the same time, he has scored only 50 plus score in test this year. In the 9 innings of Test played this year, Virat has been out in single digits 3 times.
It is important for Rohit-Virat to be in form before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
It is clear from the figures how both Rohit and Virat are struggling. Virat's condition is a little worse than Rohit. The poor performance of these two together is definitely becoming the reason for India's defeat against New Zealand. Also, seeing them playing like this, Australia is also going to be scared about the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Actually, the role of Rohit and Virat is going to be very important in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting from 22nd November.
