Rohit Sharma Wanted To Retire, 'Well-Wishers' Stopped Him. Gautam Gambhir Was Unhappy: Report

Rohit Sharma's decision to sit out of the fifth India vs Australia Test led to a speculation over-drive on whether it was the end of the India captain's journey in Tests or not.

"Can't Say Virat Kohli Got Out Because Gautam Gambhir Didn't...": Ex-India Star's Unfiltered Take

Virat Kohli's weakness outside the off-stump has become a big issue for him now. The batter clearly struggled with it during India's recently-concluded five-match Test series against Australia. Once the linchpin of India's batting, Kohli suffered a tough time Down Under, scoring just 190 runs at an average under 24, despite scoring an unbeaten hundred in the first Test in Perth. It was always the balls outside the off-stump that made Kohli's life miserable on the Australian soil. Former India cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar and Sanjay Manjrekar criticised the star batter, but also held the coaching unit responsible for the failure. Another ex-India player Aakash Chopra, however, differs in opinion.
