The poor form of Team India's veteran batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli continues. Even in the Melbourne Test, runs were not seen from the bat of these players. Both these players are at the last stage of their Test career. In such a situation, this tour is very important for him. But Rohit and Virat have failed to take advantage of this big opportunity. During the tour of Australia, the demand for changes in Team India has been raised several times and it is believed that one of these stalwarts may leave the Test format.
Victory in the Melbourne Test is very important for Team India, otherwise the dream of reaching the final of the World Test Championship may be shattered. But in this big match, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were complete flops. Rohit Sharma had scored 3 runs in the first innings of Melbourne Test. At the same time, in the second innings also he could contribute only 9 runs. On the other hand, Virat Kohli also flopped. After scoring 36 runs in the first innings, he could score only 5 runs in the second innings. After this poor performance, Rohit and Virat have now come under the target of fans.
Indian fans are congratulating Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli on their retirement on social media. That means fans believe that the Test career of these two players is now over and they will not be seen playing Test in future. Many posts on social media regarding the retirement of these two players are going viral and the hashtag '#HappyRetirement' is trending. While sharing Virat's photo, a user wrote, 'Happy retirement Virat Kohli.' At the same time, a user wrote for Rohit, 'Rohit and Virat retired from Test! Thanks for the memories. Happy retirement.

This series has been very bad for Rohit Sharma. So far, he has been able to score only 31 runs in 5 innings of 3 matches at a poor average of 6.20. In which 10 runs is his best score. At the same time, Virat Kohli has scored 167 runs in 7 innings of 4 matches at an average of 27.83. Which includes 1 century. But apart from this century, he has not done anything special in the entire series.
