Rohit, Kohli aim to end poor run with the bat

November 01, 2024 08:58

India's two senior batters -- Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli -- have been the biggest letdowns so far with 62 and 88 runs respectively in the first two Tests.

While Rohit has paid the price for his ultra-aggressive tactics, Kohli's woes against spin have been quite glaring -- falling to the spinners in three out of his four innings.

The way he missed a full toss from Mitchell Santner in the first innings in Pune left everyone shocked and it will be up to the Indian batting star to make a strong comeback in Mumbai.

Interestingly, Rohit has played one Test at his home ground at the Wankhede -- hitting an unbeaten century (111 not out) against the West Indies in 2013. On the other hand, Kohli has played five Tests at this venue, scoring 469 runs at an average of 58, with a double century and three fifties.
