Neither Rohit's bat is working, nor Virat Kohli is making a lot of noise with runs and this is the reason why Team India is in bad shape. Virat-Rohit failed in both the matches of the Test series against New Zealand, as a result, Team India lost both the matches and the Test series. Now a big target has been taken on both these players. Former Australian captain and famous commentator Ian Chappell called both Virat and Rohit old. Ichan Chappell said that Rohit and Virat are getting old now and their career has reached a declining stage.
Ian Chappell said during a conversation on World Wide Sports, 'India's batting has some problems. Yashasvi Jaiswal looks like a great young batsman. Shubman Gill is also a good batsman but then you have Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma who are both getting older. You have now reached a point where people have started talking about their age. They must also be wondering whether Virat-Rohit has come to the decline of their career. Rohit-Virat are at the same age.'
Ian Chappell further said that he thinks Virat-Rohit is going to face problems on the Australia tour. Chappell said, 'I would like to say only one thing that there will be a lot of bounce on the pitch in Australia and the extra bounce can trouble both of them. Both can get out.'
This statement of Ian Chappell is like an attack on Virat-Rohit, which is an old habit of Australian players. This is the mind game of the Kangaroos which they often do before the series. However, Virat Kohli has an excellent record in Australia and Rohit's bat also works on bouncy pitches. Now it remains to be seen how these two legends respond to Ian Chappell's attacks.
