Finding Rohit and Virat's replacements will not be a big worry for India: Lehmann

India Today  

Former Australia cricketer and head coach Darren Lehmann feels Indian cricket has a lot of depth to find replacements for star batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Whenever these two guys decide to retire, there are so many talented youngsters that Indian cricket will be in good stead,” Lehmann told PTI. Since then, there has been massive scrutiny on the performances of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, and now when India find themselves on the verge of another series loss, fans and experts have been asking for their removal from the Test squad. With one more match remaining in the ongoing series against Australia in Sydney, it’s high time Kohli and Rohit find their form back and help India stay alive in the World Test Championship final race or else it could be curtains on their respective Test careers.
