Australia tour ruined the careers of 2 greats! The selectors are keeping an eye on the third, the face of the team is going to change.

New Delhi. The Indian team’s tour of Australia has proved to be a disaster for many cricketers. Ravichandran Ashwin’s career came to a halt in the middle of the series and he/she had to announce his/her retirement. Captain Rohit Sharma also did not play the last test and now it is not certain whether he/she will play further or not. This is also considered to be the last Australia tour of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. There is every possibility that when the Indian team plays the Test match in June, its appearance will be seen to have changed a lot.

The Indian team not only lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by going to Australia, but the careers of many of its cricketers are also at stake. Ravichandran Ashwin’s story has now become old that how he/she said goodbye to cricket in the middle of the series with tearful eyes. Rohit Sharma has a bigger story than this. This captain, who made India the T20 champion just six months ago, was under so much pressure that he/she himself was left out of the playing eleven of the Sydney Test.

When Rohit Sharma withdrew from the Sydney Test, his/her playing form was not over. If India had won the Sydney Test match, then its hopes of playing the final of the World Test Championship would have remained alive. India lost in Sydney and was also out of the race for the final of the World Test Championship. Now India has to play the next test in England from 20th June. By then Rohit Sharma would have crossed the age of 38 years. In such a situation, you will not be surprised if the selectors hand over the command of the team to someone else in place of Rohit. And yes, if this happens then Rohit will hardly get a place in the playing eleven. To avoid such a situation, Rohit can also say goodbye to Test cricket.

Australia tour proved to be very bad for Virat Kohli also. he/she could score only 190 runs in 5 matches. Of these, 100 runs also came in the second innings of the Perth Test. That means Virat could score only 90 runs in the remaining innings. On his/her game, Irfan Pathan said that in all the opportunities he/she has got in the last 4-5 years, any youth can play as well or even better. Sunil Gavaskar said that the players who could not perform in Australia should go to Ranji Trophy and find their form. If such players do not play in Ranji then coach Gautam Gambhir should not include them in the Test team.

Obviously, all Gavaskar’s words are for players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Virat is not only fitter than Rohit, but he/she is also younger. In such a situation, there does not seem to be as much serious threat to Virat’s career as to Rohit’s. But it is certain that the selectors can talk to him/her also. If Virat does not return to form, coach Gautam Gambhir will not have much trouble in dropping him/her from the team. If Virat wants to save his/her career, he/she will have to score runs.
