Following retirement of superstars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from the longest format of the game, several fans and experts are speculating that the Indian team will struggle in Tests.
Many experts feel that the team will go through a transitional phase for some time and that will put tremendous pressure on the youngsters to maintain the high standard.
However, Indian Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara has a different view. Pujara feels that that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement would open the gates for youngsters to showcase their talent.
"Well, I’ve played with some of these players and I’m sure all these young players are focusing on the team’s success. The rebuilding phase in Test cricket will open a great opportunity to come together as a team, and the squad will look different on the field," said Pujara.

"So this will definitely bring all the young players together. When you have a great opportunity like this, you come together as a team, you look different on the field. Because when you have seniors and juniors, there are times when you might have a little bit of difference of opinion, because the seniors have played a lot more. Now, there are no seniors and juniors in this team, so everyone has to come together. Everyone needs to support each other," he added.
