"Don't know where..."- Gautam Gambhir delivers huge verdict on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's future in Tests

The future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the Tests has become a hot topic in Indian cricket, especially after the team's loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25

India head coach Gautam Gambhir talked about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Test cricket after their poor performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He said that he could mirror comments on the future of the players, and it would be their call. 

The future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the Tests has become a hot topic in Indian cricket, especially after the team's loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Rohit Sharma-led side was at the receiving end of a 3-1 thrashing at the hands of the Pat Cummins-led side in the five-match series. 

One of the major reasons behind the loss of the India team was the poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both the stalwarts of the Indian team looked torrid with the bat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 as they bagged low scores. 

Virat Kohli started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a high as he slammed a solid century. It was expected that he would go on to have a big series but that wasn't the case. After that ton, he struggled badly and could manage just around 190 runs. 

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma arguably had the worst Test series of his career. The captain scored just 31 runs in the series and even was below par with his leadership. This also saw him dropping himself for the last match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Sydney owing to the poor form.

With the series loss, India also were eliminated from the race to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Also, with the new cycle around the corner, there are massive questions about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the longest format of the game. 

I can't comment on the future of any Players; It is up to them - Gautam Gambhir on future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli

Head coach Gautam Gambhir was asked about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, saying that he could not comment on the future of both players. He added that although both the players still have hunger and commitment, they have no immediate plan for the transition. Speaking to reporters, he said: 

"I can't comment on the future of any Players; It is up to them. They have the hunger and commitment - hopefully, they can do everything they can to take Indian cricket forward. Too early to talk about transition, don't know where we will be after five months." 

The next Tes series for India will be in England in June. It remains to be seen what will be the future of the Team in the Tests going forward.
