Team India's performance in the Test series being played against New Zealand has not been anything special so far. Team India, which has lost the first two matches of the series, is now facing the threat of a clean sweep. Veteran batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from the team have also been seen struggling for runs in this series. No big innings have been seen from the bat of both the players. Meanwhile, the Indian team's assistant coach Abhishek Nair has given a big statement on the form of Rohit and Virat.
Abhishek Nair believes that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are working hard and will soon be seen in form. Abhishek Nair said in a press conference at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, two days before the third Test against New Zealand, "Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's attitude is fantastic, they are working hard. Sometimes, you have to be a little patient, even with the greatest players, and they may face tough times. I am sure we will have a lot more to praise Kohli and Rohit for."
Abhishek Nair further said, 'I have been a top player myself and so when someone goes through this phase, many times it is about giving them their space and trusting that they will come back, they will work hard. See everyone has worked really hard. Everyone wants to perform well. Everyone, be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else, is trying, the attitude is great.'
Virat Kohli has been able to score only 88 runs in 4 innings in this series so far. During this, his best score is 70 runs. His average is only 22.00. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma has managed to score only 62 runs in 4 innings of 2 matches. During this, he has scored 1 half-century and his average is only 15.50. Team India had earlier played two Test matches against Bangladesh. Even then, no big innings were seen from the bat of these players.
