BCCI Told To Have Virat Kohli 'Exit Plan' Ready As Retirement Chatter Intensifies

Rohit Sharma could be on the cusp of retirement from Test cricket but an exit might not be too far from Virat Kohli too.

Watch: Frustrated By Sam Konstas' Chatter, Yashasvi Jaiswal's Aggressive Act Stuns All

Generally considered one of the most selfless cricketers in the game, India captain Rohit Sharma has been accused of putting his interests over the team's during the defeat against Australia in Melbourne. Rohit, together with the team management, decided to drop Shubman Gill from the side and demote KL Rahul to the No. 3 spot. The changes were made in order to help Rohit open for the side once again.

Sunil Gavaskar Roasts Rishabh Pant Over MCG Dismissal. "Like A Drug"

Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar feels India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for throwing away his wicket in the second innings of the 4th Test against Australia in Melbourne. For the second time in the match, Pant got out while playing a rash shot. In the first innings, Pant was caught at deep third man after mistiming his ramp shot.

"Overestimated. Got Reality Check": Ex-India Star Attacks Rohit Sharma And Co.

Former cricketer Atul Wasan on Monday termed the India's 184 runs defeat to Australia in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, "a reality check." "How can you undermine Australia? On the last tour, you did a good job. It doesn't happen like this that you go there (Australia) and win every time. I think we had an overestimation of our team and we got a reality check," Wasan told ANI. This defeat comes in stark contrast to India's previous tour in Australia, where they emerged victorious with a 2-1 series win. This time, however, Australia has taken a 2-1 lead, with the final Test set to be played in Sydney from Friday.
