Brisbane, December 11, 2024: Ahead of India’s Test series against Australia, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have struggled during net sessions, particularly against spin bowling. Kohli’s form, which has been under scrutiny following a disappointing series against New Zealand, remains a concern for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Sharma, though facing challenges in Australian conditions, demonstrated resilience in adapting to the Pink Kookaburra ball.
Both players are expected to play crucial roles in India’s batting lineup, with discussions about reshuffling the order underway. Rohit may move down the order to accommodate openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, aiming to balance India’s strategy against Australia’s diverse bowling attack.
Despite their struggles, India’s management remains confident in the duo’s leadership and experience, believing they will deliver when it matters most in the upcoming series.
