When Will Virat Kohli Be Dropped from the Team?

Rohit Sharma is out of Team India's playing eleven, but on whose strength is Virat Kohli playing. This thing is beyond understanding. Kohli also had a chance in the Sydney Test, but he lost that too.

Team India is currently going through a phase of change. The condition of the Indian team in the ongoing series against Australia is not hidden from anyone. Perhaps this is the reason that when the India vs Australia fifth Test started, Jasprit Bumrah came for the toss. That is, Rohit Sharma has been shown the way out of the playing eleven. Although it is being said that Rohit Sharma himself has taken this decision in the interest of the team, but everyone knows what the truth is.

Virat Kohli Rohit Sharma Test

No captain withdraws his name from the playing eleven. Meanwhile, the special thing is that Rohit Sharma has been out of the playing eleven, but why is Virat Kohli playing. What has he done that no questions are being raised on him. If the statistics of the last five years of Tests are taken into account, then it will be known that Virat Kohli has proved to be weaker than Rohit Sharma. Is there someone’s hand on Virat Kohli or is he being given some last chances.

Rohit Sharma’s Test statistics in the last five years

The statistics of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the last five years. These figures are from January 2020 to December 2024. First let’s talk about Rohit Sharma, who has been dropped from the Sydney playing eleven. Rohit has played 63 Test innings during this period and has scored 2160 runs. During this period, Rohit’s average is 36 and he is batting at a strike rate of 55.03. Rohit Sharma has scored 6 centuries during this period and his highest score is 161 runs.

Virat Kohli’s Test statistics in the last five years

Now take a look at Virat Kohli’s statistics. Virat Kohli has played 67 Test innings from January 2020 to December 2024 and during this period, he has scored 2005 runs. Kohli’s average is 31.33 and he is batting at an average of 49.26. Virat Kohli has three Test centuries during this period and his highest score is 186 runs. That is, both the players have played almost the same number of innings, but even after this, Rohit Sharma is slightly ahead of Virat Kohli.

Virat should also be out of the team along with Rohit

It is true that Rohit Sharma is not able to perform the way he should. But what has Kohli done that he is still maintaining his place in the playing eleven. These figures are till December 2024. That is, the numbers of the match which started today i.e. January 3, have not been added to it. In this match also, Virat Kohli has embarrassed everyone in a way.

He scored 17 runs in 69 balls and there is not even a single four during his innings, he rarely hits sixes anyway. It can be understood from this that not only Rohit, Kohli should also have been dropped from the playing eleven of this match, but he is still maintaining his place in the team even after such a poor performance.
