Virat, Rohit ODI showing can’t hide their Test frailties

Hindustan Times  

After a 12-year drought, it’s suddenly raining ICC titles on India. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were woefully out of form in Tests against New Zealand at home and then in Australia, but only a few days later they were back ‘in form’ at the international level. To think that Virat and Rohit after the CT are now back in form would be like thinking no different from Rohit and Virat fans; 50 overs cricket can give you success while still carrying all the issues that prevented you from getting runs in Tests. Virat himself would hate to be remembered by fans as a great one-day batter, because as we discussed one-day cricket is THE last place you will find batting excellence. Despite its disconnect with new age cricket fans, Test performances are where cricketers are crowned as greats, and it’s right here that Virat has slipped.
