Former India men’s head coach believes Virat Kohli still has three to four years of Test cricket left in him whereas Rohit Sharma needs to ‘take a call’ about his career or, at least his batting position, at the end of the series.

The two senior-most Test batters failed again on Monday. Opening the innings, Rohit played 39 balls patiently but got a big leading edge trying to flick a full-length ball by Pat Cummins, which was gobbled up brilliantly by Mitchell Marsh. Meanwhile, Kohli got out trying to drive a ball wide outside again, this time against left-arm quick Mitchell Starc.
