Just one fifty and one century in the entire year! He has performed worse than Sarfaraz but the coach and the captain "do not feel confident" about Sarfaraz.
The biggest mistake was not taking pujara and rahane.patience and leaving balls outside off stump consistently is very important here which most of our batsmen have forgotten.not sure if gill would make any difference but with current squad what we have and seeing rohit/kohli form playing gill shud be okay.
Virat and Rohit Sharma should take inspiration from Cook and Warner and should retire. I think Indian players are more selfish than foreign players. But Ashwin is a perfect example of selfless cricketer, but Ashwin should play for another 1/2 years. And what about Pujara and Rahane, I think that the way Virat and Rohit are playing, they seems to have lost the touch. Pujara should have been play BGT. And what went wrong with Hanuma Vihari and Karun Nair. BCCI have to answer that. Indian cricket culture is about people worshiping rather than have been team worshiping.
Most unfortunately we Indians which includes cricket lovers,BCCI,Sponsors,the whole commercial Ecosystem worship Heroes not the heroics. To be precise Vyakti Pooja karate hain,Vyaktitva ka nahin.We should blame ourselves.
why should Ashwin play for another 1/2 years .. he failed against Nz and australia.. i agree jaiswal and KL are better option for now but that doesn’t mean Rohit should retire .. he can play domestic and still make a comeback
Sharma should retire his game is completely gone, but I think Kohli still has more to offer, just look at Steve Smith and how he changes his game, I reckon Kohli needs to be dropped just so he can work on how he can stop himself from trying to play that 7th - 5th stump line he always swings at. If he can get that out of his game, his technique, hand eye coordination and mentality is definitely still there, I mean he has a century in the series and looked a century in the first innings at the mcg until he swung at a 7th stump ball.
Why is it a tough decision It’s clear that these 2 are holding the team back You have a guy who has taken 30 wickets at an average of almost 12. That’s otherworldly stats and all that hard work is being destroyed by a clueless captain who can’t bat to save his life and a batsman who is not willing to put an effort or show discipline in leaving the ball and gets out in an identical fashion every single time Selection should be on merit rather than status .But knowing our fan base now there will be an online war between rohitians and viratians and fanboys will drop a Rohit pull shoot or a Virat Kohli cover drive in their Instagram reels saying that they will make a comeback It’s pathetic And when you turn your eyes to Australia who have a champion captain in pat cummins who is proactive rather than reactive who sets attacking field.
Completely agree. Plus, why would they change or adapt their games, they're closer to 40 than 30, if they weren't able to evolve before, how and why would they now? There's hungrier players in India more deserving of their place than these two has-beens. If they were playing for Australia, they would've been dropped a long time ago. Selectors are not ruthless enough, and have a lot to answer for. Genuinely sick of the sight of kohli
@ you said it. Spot on. Do you think Australia will play an opening batsman who is averaging 6 no way Bumrah has 30 wickets. Rohit has 31 runs let that sink in
its pain to watch kohli getting out the same way for years now..when starc bowled that 5th/6th stump overpitched ball,i literally thought myself that let he leave the ball and here you go the next moment he does what u dont want him to do. A normal viewer like me can understand the nemesis, i dont know what goes on the mind of a player who has played 120 tests and you know thats hw u getting out from ages..still you play them...
Dont understand, why Rohit and Kohli are still playing when match winners like Ashwin, Rahane was dropped after failing one series. is that Fancy sponsors they get or backing from someone in selection to play irrespective of performances for last 10-20 matches? Why arent the commentators and sr analysts calling for kohli and Rohit to retire.. rather than sugar coating on media in discussing about their future.
some of our analysts and commentators are anyways biased.did you watch star sports hindi commentary?50% of their commentary talks are just praising non-performing players when they are on the field considering their history..lol.i had to mute or sometimes change the channel.
Rohit's dip in batting started from the Bangladesh series. Is it linked to the change of coach ? Something amiss right from the time GG has taken up the coaching position. The leadership and management of the Indian cricket team is capt, the coach and his associates. If India has lost five test matches in 9 test matches played post Rahul Dravid, there should be something terribly wrong in the leadership. The haste with which Ashwin left is also a sour note of GG' s style of leadership. If Rohit and Virat have to go , the Coach and his cronies are also to go. As the bowlers except Bumrah look pedestrian and fielding has left a lot to be desired for. The batting is like a pack of cards and collapses have become a norml rather than an exception
One of the glaring issues with India's approach in the BGT series in Australia this year is the lack of continuity and clarity in team strategy. While players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have had a forgettable series, there seems to be no consistent logic in handling other players. For instance, Harshit Rana was given just two tests before being dropped, while senior players with poor performances continue to feature across all four matches. The constant chopping and changing-like picking Washington Sundar, Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja in different combinations without a clear plan-highlights a lack of strategy. In contrast, Australia sticks with players like Mitch Marsh, even during lean patches, fostering continuity and stability. Moreover, decisions around Nitish Reddy make little sense. If he's picked as an all-rounder, why not bowl him? Our beloved captain hardly bowled him And if he’s viewed as a proper batter, why bat him so low at number 6 or 7 instead of using him where runs are desperately needed in the top order? Also, our Precious , Adorable captain bowls 26 overs of spin on first day of the Boxing Day test at the G and only 18 overs on the 4th day in the 2nd innings having picked TWO SPINNERS for MCG Test ! 😂😂 These inconsistent decisions are costing the team big time too. Team management and strategic decions have been abysmal to say the least ! --- Let me know if you'd like further refinements!
Many might not agree, but I feel like Kohli should have sacrificed his wicket on the run out fiasco with Jaiswal. Jaiswal was playing well, he just got eager to get on strike. But Jaiswal had better chances to stay longer in the middle.
More than Rohit, it is Kohli's future that worries me. Rohit I feel will retire from tests after this series. If India win, then he might wait for the result of the SL vs Aus series, but WTC final is unlikely regardless. But Kohli is stubborn. Because he is 36, technically he should have a couple of years of test cricket ahead of him. But the fact is that he has been poor for about 5 years. Yes, he has a decent average in 2023, but that is on the basis of 2 hundreds on dead wickets that led to draws. His 3 hundreds since 2020 are the three least memorable hundreds he has made in test cricket. I really feel he should be dropped, but no one has the courage to do so since he's a superstar and brings in money and crowds. But that shouldn't be a reason to keep someone.
Since 2021, Rohit has in fact been better than Kohli. He was never really a great test batsman and perhaps does not have much dreams around test records either, but the captaincy might still be a lure for him to delay retirement.
Kohli must play in eng.. only Kohli and pant know how to handle swing.. this flat track bully gill and jaiswal got exposed badly in south Africa.. Kohli's performence in that series was very underrated imo.. i still feel he'll bounce back.. Rohit is finished for sure..
Abysmal. All the analysts and ex players don’t have the guts to state the obvious!!!! How experienced are these two players to not be able to correct their obvious flaws? How many more times will Kohli get out the same way?? Ffs it’s embarrassing. I love Kohli, he’s been a rock for all these years but his Test run and the way he gets out making the SAME mistakes, it’s way below average for someone of his stature, talent and supposed work ethic.
Glad to see most people not worshipping Rohit and Virat. And as Dinesh said, we should just pick the best option in the CURRENT lot. Why keep giving them a chance and blaming them when they've clearly not showing form? Every MATCH SPOT needs to be earned - sure, we will stick with people a bit, but keeping them on for the next one despite them clearly not in form hurts the team, hurts the others in the bench by not giving them a chance.
Ind is playing with 3.5 batsmen…. Rohit and Kohli’s contribution has been Zilch. Ind is hesitant to take a strong call on Big name batsmen. Wish they did what they do easily to bowlers.
*One must not club Rohit and Virat. Virat has a very successful test career, he's a test great not just as as batter but India's most successful Test Captain ever too. Also if one looks at this season, Bangladesh was not that bad for Virat as compared to Rohit. In Aus, Rohit has just 31 runs in series, Virat hasn't done as bad at all. Can't club them*
From the squad, these 11 should play. I know writing a YT comment won't do any good but desperate times call for desperate measures. This could be a bold move but this will boost the confidence for the new breed. Rahul Jaiswal Gill Sarfaraz Jadeja Nitish Washington Jurel Bumrah Akash Rana
India playing with 1 batsman, 2 bowling allrounders who didn't really get to bowl, 1 world's fast bowler and wicketkeeper wasted at 5. Inspite of that we came so close. Kudos.
Problem with how things are assessed by sugarcoating like this. Australians are different, have the same enthusiasm till the last ball and our team is unfortunately no where close. They don’t play as a unit and we also lack a good ‘wall’ like Dravid, who can hold his own and soften the ball.
DK, Namaskaram. Gabba is history. If we have won once means, we will not be winning for ever. Unfortunately, I don't think our team has any proper strategy. If so they would have implemented it. Another example is the recent white wash against New Zealand. Thks Anand Karamandi
Harsha , you are too nice. Pl call out these two biggies to go, give their place to Shubman, San Sudharshan and others sitting out. At least Pant got 30 runs , what about the big guys?
At least? Pant played yet another awful shot at the worst time after he got his eye in and conditions were easier to bat on. I think the car crash also messed up Pant’s brain because his some of his choices with the bat have been shockingly bad. Ofc Virat, Rohit and Jadeja need to go
@@vp922pant played an awful shot, yes. But, till that point he had a solid defence and put up a fight. What about ROKO ? Are they even scoring runs to say that they are putting up a fight when it matters the most ?
Bumrah should captain the team in next match , gill back to no 3 , bench Rohit and get Dhruv jurel in the place of Rishabh pant. And if you want get another pacer. Kohli can be given another chance cause atleast he looked fine in the 1st innings
Virat should go too much arrogance and attitude . He disrespects the public who has given him the love and respect bit is forgetting that they can ignore him too
In Indian team , personal branding is important than team play. So , it would continue like this unless BCCI puts some serious effort to get rid of main problems
All the legends and so called analysts have no guts to speak the truth. Have not heard anyone of them to say “Drop them”. One more, has no end to it. It is not just last 3/4/5 innings, it is ladt 15,20,25 innings.
I've been a huge follower of Kholi and Rohit, but unfortunately time doesn't stand still for any player and this is a huge case in the Indian 🇮🇳 team they need to juggle a few position's Pant needs to bat at 7 simple
As a viewer, I have not noticed any great technique modification of top 4 batsmen since Shastri left the coaching stint for India. Gambhir as a coach needs to assert himself. Bumrah is bowling great, but where is any back up - be it spin or pace? This was a very important and strategic tour. He must have addressed these key technical improvement points of players. Not just sit around and now say "bahut hogaya". These words are just to protect himself and the captain. Teams have got hold of how to get Rohit and Virat out quickly. They know Rohit loves flat pitches but anything chest high, he flashes or pulls to the fielder. Virat chases any ball outside off stump. Rohit coming in at no.1 is a very risky position because he makes the next 2 batsmen vulnerable and their mind has made up they will be coming to bat within next 30 mins. This is going on for last 5 years and he has to accept. Gambhir and Dravid as coaches also should have addressed these concerns. Coaching staff must show their guidance capabilities. If not why do you need a coach? At MCG what hapenned was school boy error. Top 4 batsmen (excluding Rahul) were looking at hogging the strike instead of rotating the strike. If you rotate the strike, Australia has to bowl once to a right hander and once to a left. This would have clearly disrupted their line and leght. This is basic school stuff ! Rohit looked at getting his form back when India needed a win!! The team fell in to the trap straight away. Virat was in his usual "arrogant chasing spree" (The only main wicket for Starc in the whole test match!!).
Sai Sudarshan,Axar,Jurel, Shreyas, Sarfaraz is getting ignored by BCCI in test format. It's sad to see these players who has an calibre to contribute at higher batting order. Particularly Sai & Axar. Sai scored an century in warmup and still getting ignored to add in squad.
We have loads and loads of talent, that list still doesn’t have many names in domestic circuit like tilak, Rinku, Eswaran, the list will just keep on going with players who have done really well in first class and IPL.
JAB ROHIT SHARMA NEWZEALAND SE HARNE PAR YE BOLTA HAI KI TEN YEARS MEIN EK SERIES HARNE PAR AISE NA BOLO.... HE SHOULD HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE CAPTAINCY THAN AND THERE... INDIA KO AAJ YE DIN NA DEKHNA PADTA.... PERTH ISKA PRIME EXAMPLE HAI.... ROHIT WASN'T THERE... HOW INDIA PERFORMED
There has been a lot of speculation around keeping Rohit and Kohli. It's high time that they must be forced to play county cricket to regain form. Perhaps, Kohli should not be in the playing eleven just for records. I'm still wondering why Pant needs to be scapegoated for the top order failure. Mr.Sunil Gavaskar was so brutal on Pant's dismissal whereas so soft on Rohit and Kohli..
Pant should be dropped too. Gavaskar was right. Kohli and Rohit are gone cases, nobody expects them to perform. Pant either needs to perform or get out.
This loss is really hurting.. not sure either they are chasing a target or drawing. Important time wicket loss due to recklessness short by our batters.
The selectors took a right call when they dropped Pujara & Rahane for their continued poor form. But presently they seem to be too afraid to take bold steps. So many young and gifted players like Jurel, Gill, Sarfaraz are waiting for their chance to do something for the country.
India cricket team is in a mess ! No clarity of roles and too much chopping and changing . Batting collapses like never entire year , over dependency on Bumrah and ignoring players like Ashwin , there is no hope this will change anytime soon !
Indian players are luckier than any others players in the world. One century will give them permanent spot in the team for at least one year. If Kohli and Rohit were part of for Australia or England teams , they would have been watching this series in TV . Remember what happened with Steve Waugh when he was the ODI captain, he was not only removed from captaincy but also from the team. All our players must understand that they are playing for our country, it’s not anyone’s ancestral rights to stay in the team. If someone is not performing, there are million players waiting behind.
I think its better opportunity for player like devdutt padikkal to play in 5th test. This would get him some experience and also give virat an indirect message that BCCI is done with their game
The problem with Kohli is more mental than technical. He needs to accept that he is not the same batter anymore that he was till 2020 and cannot dominate the way he used to. He needs to give the respect the game deserves. Just look at Steve Smith and how he goes through the gears in test cricket and is never flustered about getting beaten or looking ugly. If a bowler beats Smith a couple of times or he plays a bad shot, he tightens up his game even more but in case of Kohli, if a bowler beats him a couple of times, he becomes even more stubborn and tries to execute the same shot again untik he nicks it. There is nothing too wrong with Kohli's game at least in terms of fast bowling but he needs to bide his time and wait for the scoring opportunities instead of trying to force himself. Kohli's success in England in 2018 was largely a byproduct of his discipline rather anything else. The question is, can he do it at this stage of his career?
After SCG TEST?? They should be packing their bags by now and head back to India and save us the embarrassment in final test. It is better to give chance to youngsters. Even if they won't win the match, at least they will score more than vadapav and chokli !
The problem is they haven’t prepared back ups in a good way! Gaikwad, Tilak verma and others haven’t even got a chance in tests yet. What the hell have we been waiting for? At least pick them to tour!
can we also sack Gamhir? after he became a coach, India lost almost all the series very badly (Srilanka ODI, New zeleand Test series and now BGT). What was Gambhir contributing? Bring back Ravi Shastri as the coach. India was on top when he was the coach.
1. constant changing of batting order, 2. dropping a current & future batting star for an oldie Goldie and thus wearing further struggling batting line up and 3. failure of middle order. Will selectors and coach be brave enough to drop Rohit and Virat from Sydney test?
Go to two legends india take care and rest well practice Ranji trophy next year 2025 They are best players not doubt about it, but Small correction clear mind set and after doing well...I think...
Kohli’s dismissals represent a shocking display of stubbornness and willingness to adapt and accept your flaws. This is even more dangerous than a lowly average.
asking a player who doesn't proven as an player like Rohit and Kohli (DK only proven in IPL). But need to replace Rohit and Kohli, Rohit should give captaincy to upcoming generation. Build the new generation.
I would say its too early to say about Rohit and Virat, we have talented youngsters but i still feel we need rohit and kohli in the side. I wish to see them in the next cycle(probably their last!)
Worthless analysis ..one needs tough physical ability to play for 5 days ..Rohit was great before but he is not keeping fit these days …more young guys should be given chances ..India tried but Aussie were great ..last session 7 wickets ..amazing
Why sydney? Lets play them in the england tour and then a homecoming tour next winter. In fact, lets celebrate virat and rohit till the next wtc cycle ends, and really who cares about india winning or losing, we just want those nostalgia moments
Throw that kohli out...hes doing the same thing for 5 years...just because he is a brand..no body goes agaisnt him..he had issues with kumble, ganguly and god knows what...he neither performs at Icc knock outs..or IPL
Rohit is awfully out of form. Perhaps he should drop himself and get shubhman in the team for his exposure to overseas conditions. As he is an important part of the future,he shouldnt be deprived. Showing his selflessness ,Rohit should drop himself and show grace to protect his legacy. He has nothing to prove.
@harshabhogale sir @dinesh kartik sir.I have one question pls anser if possible to you..we really need poojara or not? If we removed rohit as captain then buram will give the chance rohit or he refer other batsman (shubhman gill)
I doubt Kohli or Rohit will wish a 80 year old surgeon with poor eyesight and reflexes to operate on them based on his previous record of surgery. So, why should they play for India. Are Kohli and Rohit, bigger than India ?
Shying away to take corrective measures isn't gonna bring the trophy. Need to make necessary yet cautionary tough calls. Who said playing against Aussies was gonna be easy?
Now in SCG.. if Rohit or/and Virat hit century then they will be safe until next few series Virat average 20-30 in last 4yrs of test cricket .. so I don’t understand why BCCI will give him another chance
When Rohit resume the captaincy from Bumrah after 1st test, we lost itself, it would have been 3-1 already but thanks to Rain in 3rd test., 3-1 is loading.
Feel pity for legends like Gavaskar and Ravishashtri ji to go through this in the commentory box with Aussies. Worst part is Axis insurance ad showing up after every over with Rohit smiling while watching it on star sports. 😢
Gambhir as coach also needs to be ruthless like his stints at KKR. As the head coach, he has to be the shepherd. Any wayward sheep need to be reminded that they're part of the flock!
A negative mindset is what cost the match today. 19 Runs in 25 overs. Imagine a Ferrari and Lamborghini in garage and advised to drive at 20 kms p h. Doesn't make sense, right? A positive batting would have given a better result.
Rohit got out immediately he played an attacking shot. Virat attacked the angle. Pant attacked the part timer. They all paid for it. Only phase India was comfortable was during that 20kmph driving. Win was never on cards. They are not Bangladesh and our batters are not in supreme form. So, all they had to do was to leave the ball if it's not in the wicket line otherwise block it. Mindset is important, but it isn't alone enough. You need so many things, especially with such a fine tight bowling unit.
How can the same team look soooo ordinary since change of support staff...?? With Ashwins sudden retirement I feel Something is cooking. Rohit was never a Test Great to start with. Kohli has underperformed since 36 all out. Since T20 worldCup Victory something has changed at administrative level as well. Rahane, Vihari, Mayank, Shreyas have performed reasonably well but still ignored. Shami injury wasnt handelled well. Team selection has been poor or too conservative. Feel like Rohit didnt wanted to travel to Australia but forced to.....not just batting even his press conferences seem like He's not interested. We have fair qaulity backups but I guess administrators dnt want everyone to retire at the same time fearing what happend to sri lanka when Sanga, Mahela, Dilshan and Malinga left together.
I actually wouldn't mind if Rohit and Virat are rested for Sydney Test instead of taking big call on them . Let youngsters play under the leadership of Bumrah , I truly believe India will be wayy better and may even win !
The problem is not only with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli but the entire batting lineup. You can not expect number 7 and 8 to bat for you and make 100 + partnership everytime. Yes, RoKo should retire after Sydney if they fail to score big. Gill shouldnt have been dropped in the first place. We need bowlers who can support Bumrah to take wickets.

You have a guy who has taken 30 wickets at an average of almost 12.

some of our analysts and commentators are anyways biased.did you watch star sports hindi commentary?50% of their commentary talks are just praising non-performing players when they are on the field considering their history..lol.i had to mute or sometimes change the channel.
Rohit's dip in batting started from the Bangladesh series. Is it linked to the change of coach ? Something amiss right from the time GG has taken up the coaching position. The leadership and management of the Indian cricket team is capt, the coach and his associates. If India has lost five test matches in 9 test matches played post Rahul Dravid, there should be something terribly wrong in the leadership. The haste with which Ashwin left is also a sour note of GG' s style of leadership. If Rohit and Virat have to go , the Coach and his cronies are also to go. As the bowlers except Bumrah look pedestrian and fielding has left a lot to be desired for. The batting is like a pack of cards and collapses have become a norml rather than an exception
Gambhir is an idiot. More talk than any real leadership qualities. A political appointee.
One of the glaring issues with India's approach in the BGT series in Australia this year is the lack of continuity and clarity in team strategy. While players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have had a forgettable series, there seems to be no consistent logic in handling other players. For instance, Harshit Rana was given just two tests before being dropped, while senior players with poor performances continue to feature across all four matches.
The constant chopping and changing-like picking Washington Sundar, Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja in different combinations without a clear plan-highlights a lack of strategy. In contrast, Australia sticks with players like Mitch Marsh, even during lean patches, fostering continuity and stability.
Moreover, decisions around Nitish Reddy make little sense. If he's picked as an all-rounder, why not bowl him? Our beloved captain hardly bowled him And if he’s viewed as a proper batter, why bat him so low at number 6 or 7 instead of using him where runs are desperately needed in the top order?
Also, our Precious , Adorable captain bowls 26 overs of spin on first day of the Boxing Day test at the G and only 18 overs on the 4th day in the 2nd innings having picked TWO SPINNERS for MCG Test ! 😂😂
These inconsistent decisions are costing the team big time too. Team management and strategic decions have been abysmal to say the least !

Let me know if you'd like further refinements!
Many might not agree, but I feel like Kohli should have sacrificed his wicket on the run out fiasco with Jaiswal. Jaiswal was playing well, he just got eager to get on strike. But Jaiswal had better chances to stay longer in the middle.
More than Rohit, it is Kohli's future that worries me. Rohit I feel will retire from tests after this series. If India win, then he might wait for the result of the SL vs Aus series, but WTC final is unlikely regardless. But Kohli is stubborn. Because he is 36, technically he should have a couple of years of test cricket ahead of him. But the fact is that he has been poor for about 5 years. Yes, he has a decent average in 2023, but that is on the basis of 2 hundreds on dead wickets that led to draws. His 3 hundreds since 2020 are the three least memorable hundreds he has made in test cricket. I really feel he should be dropped, but no one has the courage to do so since he's a superstar and brings in money and crowds. But that shouldn't be a reason to keep someone.
Completely agree 💯💯💯
Since 2021, Rohit has in fact been better than Kohli. He was never really a great test batsman and perhaps does not have much dreams around test records either, but the captaincy might still be a lure for him to delay retirement.
Kohli must play in eng.. only Kohli and pant know how to handle swing.. this flat track bully gill and jaiswal got exposed badly in south Africa.. Kohli's performence in that series was very underrated imo.. i still feel he'll bounce back.. Rohit is finished for sure..
@ Same nonsense they said about Kohli for Aus as well. He had a pretty ordinary Eng tour in 2021 and he’s in even worse form now.
Where is the Indian coach? Why is he hiding down under?
Gautam Ghambir is an ass. Everyone knows that. How did he become coach? Indians are in shit now because of him! Ask Aswin.
In SCG's flat pitch, both of them will get some runs and people will again forget of their consistent failures
pathetic take
SCG isn't flat, the flattest wicket in australia is MCG in general
Even in a flat pitch, they won't score more than 10

All the analysts and ex players don’t have the guts to state the obvious!!!! How experienced are these two players to not be able to correct their obvious flaws? How many more times will Kohli get out the same way?? Ffs it’s embarrassing. I love Kohli, he’s been a rock for all these years but his Test run and the way he gets out making the SAME mistakes, it’s way below average for someone of his stature, talent and supposed work ethic.
Glad to see most people not worshipping Rohit and Virat. And as Dinesh said, we should just pick the best option in the CURRENT lot. Why keep giving them a chance and blaming them when they've clearly not showing form? Every MATCH SPOT needs to be earned - sure, we will stick with people a bit, but keeping them on for the next one despite them clearly not in form hurts the team, hurts the others in the bench by not giving them a chance.
Ind is playing with 3.5 batsmen…. Rohit and Kohli’s contribution has been Zilch. Ind is hesitant to take a strong call on Big name batsmen. Wish they did what they do easily to bowlers.
Thank you Harsha and DK for speaking on this.
*One must not club Rohit and Virat. Virat has a very successful test career, he's a test great not just as as batter but India's most successful Test Captain ever too. Also if one looks at this season, Bangladesh was not that bad for Virat as compared to Rohit. In Aus, Rohit has just 31 runs in series, Virat hasn't done as bad at all. Can't club them*
From the squad, these 11 should play. I know writing a YT comment won't do any good but desperate times call for desperate measures. This could be a bold move but this will boost the confidence for the new breed.

India playing with 1 batsman, 2 bowling allrounders who didn't really get to bowl, 1 world's fast bowler and wicketkeeper wasted at 5. Inspite of that we came so close. Kudos.
Problem with how things are assessed by sugarcoating like this. Australians are different, have the same enthusiasm till the last ball and our team is unfortunately no where close. They don’t play as a unit and we also lack a good ‘wall’ like Dravid, who can hold his own and soften the ball.

10 players ke saath khelega bhai?
Virat and Rohit getting chances after chances and the guy who has always done well, Pujara sacked. Celebrity culture has to stop. 💔
Save the series. Drop Rohit. He looks done. We lost 5 in the last 7 tests. The 1 win that we had was when Rohit was not in the team.
We need to bring back the burning effigy era ..mfer is somehow still the captain after that 3-0 humiliation in home against NZ
DK, Namaskaram.
Gabba is history. If we have won once means, we will not be winning for ever.
Unfortunately, I don't think our team has any proper strategy. If so they would have implemented it. Another example is the recent white wash against New Zealand.
Thks
Anand Karamandi
Rohit and virat will win the series for Australia 3-1.
Yes if we continue with same lineup
Hats off Sachin- the God of cricket. Kohli is now officially out of the league of Sachin
Chokli is an ordinary batsman...Sachin, Lara, ABD are totally different league.
Rohit OUT, Gill IN for Sydney, Bumrah to captain. Simple as that. There is NO scope at all left for nonsense now..
Gill for rohit sarfaraz for choli is the need of the hour
Harsha , you are too nice. Pl call out these two biggies to go, give their place to Shubman, San Sudharshan and others sitting out. At least Pant got 30 runs , what about the big guys?
At least? Pant played yet another awful shot at the worst time after he got his eye in and conditions were easier to bat on. I think the car crash also messed up Pant’s brain because his some of his choices with the bat have been shockingly bad.
Ofc Virat, Rohit and Jadeja need to go
@@vp922pant played an awful shot, yes. But, till that point he had a solid defence and put up a fight. What about ROKO ? Are they even scoring runs to say that they are putting up a fight when it matters the most ?
@@vp922 hold pant accountable on his throwing away the wicket, yes, the "at least" is relative to Virat fishing yet again.
When even kapil, azar, ganguly dropped in the past, why not rohit, kholi? Extraordinary once upon a time now became extra luggage!
Virat ,Rohit,and KL r now no longer to deserve in Indian team
Why after SCG? They should be dropped for 5th test.
You either retire as a Hero or play long enough to become a Villain
Bumrah should captain the team in next match , gill back to no 3 , bench Rohit and get Dhruv jurel in the place of Rishabh pant. And if you want get another pacer. Kohli can be given another chance cause atleast he looked fine in the 1st innings
Virat should go too much arrogance and attitude . He disrespects the public who has given him the love and respect bit is forgetting that they can ignore him too
RAT Kohli 🐀
Why india dropped C Pujara and A rahane from test ???
Then defenetely India need to drop Rohit and kohli ..
If India should win please drop Rohit & Virat. Bring new players . See the difference.
In Indian team , personal branding is important than team play. So , it would continue like this unless BCCI puts some serious effort to get rid of main problems
Why should be waiting for scg test we will loose one more test playing new team
All the legends and so called analysts have no guts to speak the truth. Have not heard anyone of them to say “Drop them”. One more, has no end to it. It is not just last 3/4/5 innings, it is ladt 15,20,25 innings.
I've been a huge follower of Kholi and Rohit, but unfortunately time doesn't stand still for any player and this is a huge case in the Indian 🇮🇳 team they need to juggle a few position's Pant needs to bat at 7 simple
Those two veterans themselves need to call it a day for sure without any delay
There’s no call needed. Come on. Have we not had enough evidence over the last 7 tests?!
Gambhir ke sath 2014 me England me hua tha wo aaj repeat ho rha
Call must be taken before Sydney test. WTC spot is most likely gone. Selectors should at least prioritize retaining the BGT.
❤They should carry on ❤
As a viewer, I have not noticed any great technique modification of top 4 batsmen since Shastri left the coaching stint for India. Gambhir as a coach needs to assert himself. Bumrah is bowling great, but where is any back up - be it spin or pace? This was a very important and strategic tour. He must have addressed these key technical improvement points of players. Not just sit around and now say "bahut hogaya". These words are just to protect himself and the captain.
Teams have got hold of how to get Rohit and Virat out quickly. They know Rohit loves flat pitches but anything chest high, he flashes or pulls to the fielder. Virat chases any ball outside off stump. Rohit coming in at no.1 is a very risky position because he makes the next 2 batsmen vulnerable and their mind has made up they will be coming to bat within next 30 mins. This is going on for last 5 years and he has to accept.
Gambhir and Dravid as coaches also should have addressed these concerns. Coaching staff must show their guidance capabilities. If not why do you need a coach?
At MCG what hapenned was school boy error. Top 4 batsmen (excluding Rahul) were looking at hogging the strike instead of rotating the strike. If you rotate the strike, Australia has to bowl once to a right hander and once to a left. This would have clearly disrupted their line and leght. This is basic school stuff ! Rohit looked at getting his form back when India needed a win!! The team fell in to the trap straight away. Virat was in his usual "arrogant chasing spree" (The only main wicket for Starc in the whole test match!!).
Sai Sudarshan,Axar,Jurel, Shreyas, Sarfaraz is getting ignored by BCCI in test format. It's sad to see these players who has an calibre to contribute at higher batting order. Particularly Sai & Axar. Sai scored an century in warmup and still getting ignored to add in squad.
We have loads and loads of talent, that list still doesn’t have many names in domestic circuit like tilak, Rinku, Eswaran, the list will just keep on going with players who have done really well in first class and IPL.
JAB ROHIT SHARMA NEWZEALAND SE HARNE PAR YE BOLTA HAI KI TEN YEARS MEIN EK SERIES HARNE PAR AISE NA BOLO.... HE SHOULD HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE CAPTAINCY THAN AND THERE... INDIA KO AAJ YE DIN NA DEKHNA PADTA.... PERTH ISKA PRIME EXAMPLE HAI.... ROHIT WASN'T THERE... HOW INDIA PERFORMED
If u Guys Love Indian Cricket Please Retire Rohit and Virat 🙏 You guys are Legends.
I’m proud that the team with no selections in Bhogle’s test team of the year is winning the series 2-1 so far.
There has been a lot of speculation around keeping Rohit and Kohli. It's high time that they must be forced to play county cricket to regain form. Perhaps, Kohli should not be in the playing eleven just for records.
I'm still wondering why Pant needs to be scapegoated for the top order failure. Mr.Sunil Gavaskar was so brutal on Pant's dismissal whereas so soft on Rohit and Kohli..
Pant should be dropped too. Gavaskar was right. Kohli and Rohit are gone cases, nobody expects them to perform. Pant either needs to perform or get out.
This loss is really hurting.. not sure either they are chasing a target or drawing. Important time wicket loss due to recklessness short by our batters.
The selectors took a right call when they dropped Pujara & Rahane for their continued poor form. But presently they seem to be too afraid to take bold steps. So many young and gifted players like Jurel, Gill, Sarfaraz are waiting for their chance to do something for the country.
True. Along with kohli and rohit, pant and rahul should also go out. There are plenty of young talents in this country.
Consistent performance should be the only yardstick while selecting the playing eleven.
Guys let’s me know if this is worth listening to or if harsha has continued to sugarcoat shit.
India cricket team is in a mess ! No clarity of roles and too much chopping and changing . Batting collapses like never entire year , over dependency on Bumrah and ignoring players like Ashwin , there is no hope this will change anytime soon !
Indian players are luckier than any others players in the world. One century will give them permanent spot in the team for at least one year. If Kohli and Rohit were part of for Australia or England teams , they would have been watching this series in TV . Remember what happened with Steve Waugh when he was the ODI captain, he was not only removed from captaincy but also from the team. All our players must understand that they are playing for our country, it’s not anyone’s ancestral rights to stay in the team. If someone is not performing, there are million players waiting behind.
I think its better opportunity for player like devdutt padikkal to play in 5th test.
This would get him some experience and also give virat an indirect message that BCCI is done with their game
The problem with Kohli is more mental than technical. He needs to accept that he is not the same batter anymore that he was till 2020 and cannot dominate the way he used to. He needs to give the respect the game deserves. Just look at Steve Smith and how he goes through the gears in test cricket and is never flustered about getting beaten or looking ugly. If a bowler beats Smith a couple of times or he plays a bad shot, he tightens up his game even more but in case of Kohli, if a bowler beats him a couple of times, he becomes even more stubborn and tries to execute the same shot again untik he nicks it. There is nothing too wrong with Kohli's game at least in terms of fast bowling but he needs to bide his time and wait for the scoring opportunities instead of trying to force himself. Kohli's success in England in 2018 was largely a byproduct of his discipline rather anything else. The question is, can he do it at this stage of his career?
His position Hampers team moral too
Rohit Sharma's perdigree or form ?
His overall test average is 40 with most of runs coming in subcontinent
After SCG TEST?? They should be packing their bags by now and head back to India and save us the embarrassment in final test. It is better to give chance to youngsters. Even if they won't win the match, at least they will score more than vadapav and chokli !
The problem is they haven’t prepared back ups in a good way! Gaikwad, Tilak verma and others haven’t even got a chance in tests yet. What the hell have we been waiting for? At least pick them to tour!
can we also sack Gamhir? after he became a coach, India lost almost all the series very badly (Srilanka ODI, New zeleand Test series and now BGT). What was Gambhir contributing? Bring back Ravi Shastri as the coach. India was on top when he was the coach.
Experience matters but performance matters more.
1. constant changing of batting order, 2. dropping a current & future batting star for an oldie Goldie and thus wearing further struggling batting line up and 3. failure of middle order. Will selectors and coach be brave enough to drop Rohit and Virat from Sydney test?
Go to two legends india take care and rest well practice Ranji trophy next year 2025
They are best players not doubt about it, but Small correction clear mind set and after doing well...I think...
How about a call before the Sydney test to increase India's chances of leveling the series?
Kohli’s dismissals represent a shocking display of stubbornness and willingness to adapt and accept your flaws. This is even more dangerous than a lowly average.
asking a player who doesn't proven as an player like Rohit and Kohli (DK only proven in IPL). But need to replace Rohit and Kohli, Rohit should give captaincy to upcoming generation. Build the new generation.
It's nice to see that BCCI wants to keep Rohit Sharma happy more than retain the BGT
I would say its too early to say about Rohit and Virat, we have talented youngsters but i still feel we need rohit and kohli in the side. I wish to see them in the next cycle(probably their last!)
Worthless analysis ..one needs tough physical ability to play for 5 days ..Rohit was great before but he is not keeping fit these days …more young guys should be given chances ..India tried but Aussie were great ..last session 7 wickets ..amazing
Was hoping that Rohit would announce his retirement in the post match press conference but wasn’t to be sadly
Rohith and Kohli should open the innings. Then no distrubance arises in the middle order. Others will play peacefully
Why sydney? Lets play them in the england tour and then a homecoming tour next winter.
In fact, lets celebrate virat and rohit till the next wtc cycle ends, and really who cares about india winning or losing, we just want those nostalgia moments
Throw that kohli out...hes doing the same thing for 5 years...just because he is a brand..no body goes agaisnt him..he had issues with kumble, ganguly and god knows what...he neither performs at Icc knock outs..or IPL
Rohit is awfully out of form. Perhaps he should drop himself and get shubhman in the team for his exposure to overseas conditions. As he is an important part of the future,he shouldnt be deprived. Showing his selflessness ,Rohit should drop himself and show grace to protect his legacy. He has nothing to prove.
Dhoni is a best example, when you realise you are not competitive enough, leave the space for successors.
@harshabhogale sir @dinesh kartik sir.I have one question pls anser if possible to you..we really need poojara or not?
If we removed rohit as captain then buram will give the chance rohit or he refer other batsman (shubhman gill)
I doubt Kohli or Rohit will wish a 80 year old surgeon with poor eyesight and reflexes to operate on them based on his previous record of surgery.
So, why should they play for India. Are Kohli and Rohit, bigger than India ?
Scg 11- jaiswal,rahul,kohli gill,jurel,reddy,sundar,jadeja,akash deep,siraj,bumrah*captain)
Shying away to take corrective measures isn't gonna bring the trophy. Need to make necessary yet cautionary tough calls. Who said playing against Aussies was gonna be easy?
Now in SCG.. if Rohit or/and Virat hit century then they will be safe until next few series
Virat average 20-30 in last 4yrs of test cricket ..
so I don’t understand why BCCI will give him another chance
When Rohit resume the captaincy from Bumrah after 1st test, we lost itself, it would have been 3-1 already but thanks to Rain in 3rd test., 3-1 is loading.
Feel pity for legends like Gavaskar and Ravishashtri ji to go through this in the commentory box with Aussies. Worst part is Axis insurance ad showing up after every over with Rohit smiling while watching it on star sports. 😢

Pant out Jurel IN
Gambhir as coach also needs to be ruthless like his stints at KKR. As the head coach, he has to be the shepherd. Any wayward sheep need to be reminded that they're part of the flock!
A negative mindset is what cost the match today. 19 Runs in 25 overs. Imagine a Ferrari and Lamborghini in garage and advised to drive at 20 kms p h. Doesn't make sense, right? A positive batting would have given a better result.
Rohit got out immediately he played an attacking shot. Virat attacked the angle. Pant attacked the part timer. They all paid for it. Only phase India was comfortable was during that 20kmph driving. Win was never on cards. They are not Bangladesh and our batters are not in supreme form. So, all they had to do was to leave the ball if it's not in the wicket line otherwise block it.
Mindset is important, but it isn't alone enough. You need so many things, especially with such a fine tight bowling unit.
How can the same team look soooo ordinary since change of support staff...??
With Ashwins sudden retirement I feel Something is cooking.
Rohit was never a Test Great to start with.
Kohli has underperformed since 36 all out.
Since T20 worldCup Victory something has changed at administrative level as well.
Rahane, Vihari, Mayank, Shreyas have performed reasonably well but still ignored.
Shami injury wasnt handelled well.
Team selection has been poor or too conservative.
Feel like Rohit didnt wanted to travel to Australia but forced to.....not just batting even his press conferences seem like He's not interested.
We have fair qaulity backups but I guess administrators dnt want everyone to retire at the same time fearing what happend to sri lanka when Sanga, Mahela, Dilshan and Malinga left together.
It’s done
Also for pant too in tests
They have to stick to ODI’s.
Rohit Sharma s intrested in eating vada pav, as simple as that!
I actually wouldn't mind if Rohit and Virat are rested for Sydney Test instead of taking big call on them . Let youngsters play under the leadership of Bumrah , I truly believe India will be wayy better and may even win !
The problem is not only with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli but the entire batting lineup. You can not expect number 7 and 8 to bat for you and make 100 + partnership everytime. Yes, RoKo should retire after Sydney if they fail to score big. Gill shouldnt have been dropped in the first place. We need bowlers who can support Bumrah to take wickets.
