Neither Rohit is batting well, nor Virat Kohli is making noise with runs and that is why Team India is in bad shape. Virat-Rohit failed in both the matches of the Test series against New Zealand, as a result Team India lost both the matches and lost the Test series. Now a big target has been targeted at these two players. Former Australian captain and famous commentator Ian Chappell called both Virat and Rohit old. Ichan Chappell said that Rohit and Virat are now getting old and now their careers have reached a state of decline.
Ian Chappell said during a conversation on World Wide Sports, 'There are some problems in India's batting. Yashasvi Jaiswal looks like an excellent young batsman. Shubman Gill is also a good batsman but then you have Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma who are both getting old. You have now reached the point where people have started talking about their age. They too must be wondering whether Virat-Rohit have reached the decline of their careers. Rohit-Virat are at the same age.
Ian Chappell further said that he feels that Virat-Rohit are going to face problems during the Australia tour. Chappell said, 'I would like to say only one thing that there will be a lot of bounce on the pitch in Australia and extra bounce can trouble both of them. Both may be out. This statement of Ian Chappell is like an attack on Virat-Rohit, which is an old habit of Australian players. This is the mind game of the Kangaroos which they often do before the series. However, Virat Kohli has an excellent record in Australia and Rohit's bat also works on a bouncy pitch. Now it remains to be seen how these two giants respond to Ian Chappell's attacks.
