Struggling Stars: Surinder Khanna Criticizes Kohli and Rohit's Test Performance

Former India cricketer, Surinder Khanna, criticizes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma following India's defeat in the Melbourne Test against Australia. Citing their prolonged poor form, Khanna urges selectors to consider bold changes and prioritize upcoming talent to bolster India's Test cricket lineup.

In the wake of India's inability to thwart Australia's victory in the Melbourne Test, former Indian cricketer Surinder Khanna has expressed criticism towards Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma over their lackluster performances in Test cricket.

Khanna highlighted their poor form over the last 40-45 innings, questioning their continued presence in the team given their struggles. He stated that while Rishabh Pant's playing style invites mistakes, the focus should be on Kohli's and Rohit's prolonged lean patches.

According to Khanna, the selectors must make decisive changes if these senior players persist in underperforming. He advocated for promoting young talent, drawing a parallel with India's success under Jasprit Bumrah in the first Test, emphasizing the demanding but necessary nature of harsh decisions.
