Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: End of an Era in Test Cricket?

Speculation mounts as Indian cricket icons Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli face potential retirement after poor performances in the test series against Australia. Fans and media call for a change following India's defeat in Melbourne. The future of these legendary players hangs in the balance with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy slipping away.

Speculation is rife about the future of India's cricket stalwarts, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as they endure a challenging test series in Australia. Both players, crucial to India's cricketing success, have experienced a slump in form, raising questions about their prospective retirement from test cricket.

India's latest loss in Melbourne, resulting in a 2-1 series deficit, has intensified scrutiny. Captain Rohit Sharma struggles with an abysmal batting average, matching the country's unwanted test defeat record under Sachin Tendulkar. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli's vulnerability against left-arm spin and the off-stump line hampers his performance.

Widely revered in cricket-laden India, the duo's potential departure resonates with fans. Their swift exit after steering India to a T20 World Cup title fuels speculation. With some calling for a fresh lineup for upcoming tours, Sunil Gavaskar suggests it's time for fresh faces ahead of the next World Test Championship cycle.
