India cricket coach Gautam Gambhir said veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still have a future in the team if they want it, despite disappointing returns on the Test tour of Australia.
India cricket coach Gautam Gambhir said veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still have a future in the team if they want it, despite disappointing returns on the Test tour of Australia.
The tourists went down 3-1 in the series after losing the fifth Test by six wickets on Jan 5 to relinquish the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade.
Regular Test captain Sharma was rested for the match at his own request after poor returns in the second, third and fourth matches, while Kohli made 17 and six in his two innings in Sydney.
"I can't talk about the future of any player, it's up to them as well," Gambhir said.
