Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma unlikely to face Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan treatment

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s subpar play has been a hot topic lately, particularly during the BGT series. Due to their poor performances in red-ball cricket, both of these Indian mainstays have been the subject of retirement rumours among supporters. However, following their dismal performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, experts have recommended that the two legends resume playing domestic cricket.

Due to their inability to adhere to the BCCI’s rule that domestic cricket should take precedence over international cricket when players were not on national duty, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan, two of the rising stars of Indian cricket, were released from their central contracts for the 2023 season.

As the second half of the Ranji Trophy is about to begin and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not playing in the five-match T20I series, the Hindustan Times recently reported that the two might play in the domestic tournament.

“However, there is a strong belief among the board that if Kohli is eager to continue, he should bat with pomp like before, and for that, going back to the basics may be necessary.” “If the players do not play Ranji Trophy without legitimate medical or fitness reasons, it will have an impact on their future selection for India.” Go over the report.

In 2024, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli fled diktat.

Even though guys like Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer, who were just starting out in international cricket, had a lot of trouble because of the BCCI rule, Virat and Rohit may not have the same problem because they have previously gotten around it. In response to the BCCI’s directive, the two did not participate in the remainder of the series following the T20 World Cup, but they were excluded from the Duleep Trophy, which was used to select the team for the Test series against Bangladesh.

Regardless of their level of experience playing international cricket, players will need to focus on domestic cricket, according to a statement from a BCCI official. The official also mentioned that there is no better way to rebuild confidence than to spend time at the crease.

Spending time at the crease is the only way to rebuild confidence. Regardless of experience level, it is up to the player to realise that, according to a BCCI official cited by Hindustan Times.
