BCCI In A Fix Over Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli Retirement Decision? Report Makes Huge Claim

It was a horrible outing for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the recently-concluded Test series against Australia. Despite scoring a brilliant ton in the first Test match, Kohli finished the series with 190 runs at an average of 23.75 across eight innings. The star batter's struggles with deliveries outside the off-stump were once again exposed as his batting technique was criticised by both fans as well as experts. The situation was worse for Rohit who scored just 31 runs in 3 matches before dropping himself for the final Test in Sydney. While speculations are rife about their future, a report by Dainik Jagran claimed that the star batters are unlikely to retire on their own, leaving the tough task up to the selectors.

As Sam Konstas Clashes With Kohli, Bumrah, Pat Cummins' Blunt "Bullying And Abuse" Verdict

Australia captain Pat Cummins has come to the defence of Sam Konstas following recent scrutiny of his on-field conduct during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. In the post-match press conference, Cummins discussed the role of the ICC and match officials in setting the rules and the standard for conduct, making it clear that the team respected those decisions, even if they did not always agree with them.

So, it doesn't really matter what we think. They set the rules. So, obviously, that's the standard that they're happy with," Cummins said.
