The flop show of two big legends of Team India, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, is not stopping. Both the legends, who flopped in the entire series, returned to the pavilion very cheaply in both the innings in Melbourne. After this, discussions have started once again regarding the retirement of both of them. However, former head coach of Team India, Ravi Shastri believes that Kohli will play for three to four more years. Whereas Ravi Shastri was not seen saying anything clearly regarding Rohit.

Shastri gave a big statement on Rohit-Virat

Since the beginning of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, it was being said that this could be the last Australian tour of Rohit and Virat. After the poor form of both and then the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin, these rumors started gaining momentum. At the same time, after the poor performance in the Melbourne Test, these discussions started gaining more momentum. But Shastri said in a conversation with Star Sports, 'Virat will play for some more time. Forget the way he got out today. I think he will play for 3 or 4 more years. As far as Rohit is concerned, it is a call. His footwork in the top order is not the same as before. Perhaps, sometimes, he is a little late in catching the ball. This will be their decision at the end of the series.

Rohit Sharma's performance in Test in 2024

Rohit Sharma's performance in Tests this year has been very poor. His average was also quite shameful. The Indian captain has scored 619 runs in 26 innings in 2024 with the help of two centuries and two half-centuries. And his batting average is less than 25 (24.76). Whereas Rohit has been able to score only 31 runs in three matches in this series.
