'Modern-day great' Kohli will find solution to his batting woes: Rohit
Mail This Article
Virat Kohli's struggles outside the off-stump in Australia are being talked about but skipper Rohit Sharma is not concerned about his 'modern-day-great' teammate.
Ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Melbourne starting December 26, Rohit was asked: “Do you say something or leave a modern-day great alone.” The question was on Kohli's struggles. Rohit replied: “You only said he is a modern-day great. Modern-day greats figure out their own path.”
Both Rohit and Kohli have struggled Down Under. Though Kohli got a century in the second innings in the opener at Perth, he has endured a poor run in general, scoring a total of 126 in five innings at an average of 31.50.
Captain Rohit's form has been worse, with the highest score being 29 in his last seven innings. Stretching it further, Rohit has hit just one fifty (52 vs New Zealand) in 13 innings.
On Tuesday, Kohli was one of the earliest to the nets at the MCG, while Rohit arrived last among top-order batters. The five-match series is levelled at 1-1 with all to play for in the remaining two matches in Melbourne and Sydney.
