Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma get subtle 'domestic cricket' message from Gautam Gambhir as Test future hangs in the balance

Hindustan Times  

India head coach Gautam Gambhir, on Sunday, dropped a subtle “domestic cricket” message in addressing the burning question on the future of the team's two senior batters, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, in Test cricket. Indian cricket team Head coach Gautam Gambhir with captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli during a practice session Both Kohli and Rohit has been under fire after their poor stretch of run in the traditional format since September last year, which sparked speculations that the two might follow Ravichandran Ashwin's path in drawing curtains to their Test career at the end of the tour of Australia. The India skipper, who opted out of the final Test of the series owing to his poor run, scored 164 runs in 15 innings during the period at 10.93, comprising one half-century knock. With discussions rife that both the stalwarts of Indian cricket stand on thin ice with selectors yet to take a call if Kohli and Rohit will be considered in the next WTC cycle, which will begin in June with the tour of England, Gambhir remained cagey in the press conference in Sydney, but believed that the two will take a call on their career keeping in mind what is in the best interest of the team.
