Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both biggest names in Indian cricket. One is the heart of today’s cricket and the other is its heartbeat. But the problem is that both the heart and the heartbeat do not work well. This is the reason why Team India is on the verge of losing its first Test series at home after 12 years. But the danger is not only losing the series against New Zealand but also losing the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Therefore, now the time has come for both Rohit and Virat to change course.
Rohit-Virat conflict turns into a headache!
Although Team India won the Test series played at home this year, under the guise of those victories, the ongoing struggle of Rohit and Virat in red-ball cricket cannot be ignored. His struggle has been visible throughout this year in Test cricket. Both Rohit and Virat are the backbone of the Indian team and if they weaken, the Indian team can face a lot of problems. Even if the Indian team somehow wins at home, weaving the plot of victory in Australia may prove to be a difficult task.
Rohit’s Test record in 2024
Now the question is, what will be the Test record of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in red ball cricket in the year 2024? If we look at captain Rohit Sharma’s statistics, he has scored 551 runs at an average of 32.41 in the 18 Test innings played so far this year. He has scored single digit scores 6 times in 18 innings. He also scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries.

Virat’s Test record in 2024
Talking about Virat Kohli, he scored 228 runs in 9 Test innings played in the year 2024 at an average of 28.5. Virat Kohli has not scored a single century during this period. Their century-long wait again seems to drag on for a long time. At the same time, he only scored above 50 in this year’s test. In the 9 Test innings played this year, Virat has been bowled out in single digits 3 times.
It is important for Rohit-Virat to be fit before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
It is clear from the figures how both Rohit and Virat are struggling. Virat’s condition is a little worse than Rohit’s. The poor performance of these two together is definitely becoming the reason for India’s loss against New Zealand. Also, now seeing them playing like this, Australia is also going to be scared for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In fact, Rohit and Virat’s role will be very important in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting from November 22.
