India, who lost their number one crown in the WTC points table to Australia, have won their last two Test tours of Australia. However, in the meantime, the team coached by Gautam Gambhir has repeatedly flopped in batting on its home ground, which has become a cause of great tension for Team India before this Australia tour.
India’s experienced batting line-up failed to score runs, which also included flop shows from big players like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Rohit scored 91 runs in six innings against the Kiwis, Kohli scored only 93 runs. After the flop of these two batsmen in this series, questions are now being raised about their future in Test cricket.
Fans and some experts have even said that the time for his retirement is near, especially if India fails to make it to the upcoming WTC final. Interestingly, if we look at the history of BGT, six Indian legends ended their careers by playing this series.
These six players ended their careers by playing Border-Gavaskar
The Test career of 6 big players of India has ended with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which includes the names of former captain MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag. The Test career of these great players came to a complete halt after this series. His last series was the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If Team India is not successful in winning this series, then it is possible that the Test career of Virat, Rohit and Ashwin may also come to a complete halt.
