If you have luck, like Rohit and Virat... Team India will not be released even after the flop-show in Australia!

Team India has returned to the country after losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. This series was not good for the Indian team and Australia won the series 3-1 as well as the trophy. During this entire series, team captain Rohit Sharma, star batsman Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir were everyone's target and questions are still being raised on these three. Even after the series is over, there is discussion whether the Test career of Rohit and Virat is over? Will Gambhir continue to be the coach of the team in this format in future also? According to a report, this is not going to happen and all three will be part of the Test series on the England tour also.

There will be review but no dismissal from the team?

In a report quoting BCCI sources, it has been said that the board will definitely review the performance of Team India but at present no action will be taken against the two star batsmen. It is believed that both of them can remain a part of Team India for the Test series on England tour in June this year. Not only Virat-Rohit, but coach Gambhir is also seen saving his job. Board sources believe that the coach will not be removed on the basis of the result of just one series. Besides, Virat and Rohit will also go on England tour.

Rohit-Virat failed miserably in Australia

The performance of Virat and Rohit on the Australia tour was very poor. Rohit had scored only 31 runs in 5 innings of 3 test matches. His poor form was such that he had to sit out of the playing eleven in the last Test match played in Sydney, even though he himself was the captain of the team. In such a situation, there are constant possibilities that Rohit will not return to the Test team. Not only this series, but Rohit was also a complete flop in the previous home Test series played against New Zealand and Bangladesh. He has only one half-century to his name in these three series.

Similarly, Virat's performance was also not good. Virat, who had scored a lot of runs on the previous tours of Australia, had definitely scored a strong century in the Perth Test, but after that, he failed miserably in the next four Tests. Only 190 runs were scored from Kohli's bat in 9 innings of this series, out of which 100 runs were scored in the century scored in Perth. What was even more shocking was that Virat was out 8 times in this series and kept losing wickets every time he tried to play the ball outside the off stump.

No action will be taken even against Gambhir!

As far as Gambhir is concerned, Team India's performance in Test cricket has not been good since he became the head coach. Even in the series against Bangladesh, Team India did not look very strong despite registering victory. After 12 years, Team India had to face defeat in the home Test series. Not only the defeat, but Team India had to face the embarrassment of a clean sweep at home for the first time. After this, after the team's performance on the Australia tour and many decisions, it is being speculated that Gambhir's cards may be wiped out if there is failure in the Champions Trophy too. But now this does not seem to be happening and he can remain the coach even on the England tour.
