Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
Though speculation was rife that captain Rohit Sharma will announce his retirement after the humiliating loss against hosts Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Tropy due to his miserable form, the veteran cricketer refuted any such chance.
Moreover, another veteran batter and former skipper Virat Kohli also went through miserable form in the series. Though there was not any speculation about his retirement, several fans and experts are of the opinion that the superstar culture in the Indian team should end and the veteran cricketers should be axed from the team paving the way for talented youngsters.
The development has sparked the most concern and calls for an immediate attention on the future of Kohli and Rohit.
