Out-of-form Kohli and Rohit can't be jettisoned, compared to Ashwin, due to lack of competition

Firstpost  

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, despite struggling with form, continue to be best batting options for the Indian cricket team and cannot be compared to R Ashwin who retired due to lack of chances. After a rip-roaring start to his career that included hundreds in his first two Test innings, he fought losing battles with consistency and looked set to sign off as a white-ball legend alone before being given a fresh lease of life by Kohli and Ravi Shastri in October 2019 when he reprised his limited-overs role and started to open the batting. Yet, for all their recent travails, Kohli and Rohit aren’t just India’s most experienced and prolific batters in this line-up, they are also among the best batters in the country, the two highest run-makers among active Test batters. Ashwin hung up his boots once it was clear that he wasn’t guaranteed a place in a Test outside Asia – in the last two and a half years, he played a mere five games when India travelled outside the subcontinent – but that was only because when India played only one spinner, Ravindra Jadeja’s superior all-round package was more appealing to those who decided on the playing XI.
