If this happens, it can be a big blow for the Indian team.
Rohit and Kohli’s declining form
Rohit Sharma has scored only 152 runs in the last seven Test matches, while Virat Kohli has scored 376 runs in 9 Test matches. Rohit, who was in great form against England at the beginning of the year, lost his form in the subsequent three series. Whereas, Virat Kohli failed on home ground against Bangladesh and New Zealand. While he was expected to perform well in Australia, except for the century in Perth, he did not live up to the expectations in the rest of the innings.
