England’s experienced batsman Joe Root has given a big statement about the Indian team’s brilliant batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. According to Joe Root, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the most important aspects of the Indian Test team and England will have to get both these players out as soon as possible if they want to win this Test series.

Let us tell you, Virat Kohli was included in the Indian team in the Test series being played against England. However, Virat Kohli is going to become a father once again and that is why he had requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India that he will be unavailable for the first two Tests.

Virat Kohli has not yet participated in this Test series but he will be seen playing for the Indian team in the upcoming matches. Rohit Sharma’s performance so far in this Test series has been quite good. Even though Rohit Sharma has not been able to score big in the first two Tests, his captaincy has been praised by everyone.

Joe Root on Jio Cinema said, ‘Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the two best batsmen of the modern era. We know how good both these players are and both of them are the most senior players in the Indian batting lineup at present. All you want is to take the wickets of these two players as soon as possible and hold on to the match.

We will try to keep both these players calm in this entire series: Joe Root

Joe Root further said, ‘It has happened many times when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have made big scores but this time we will try to keep both these batsmen calm in the entire series.’

According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, Virat Kohli will also be unavailable in the third and fourth Tests to be held in Rajkot and Ranchi. Till now no official statement has come from BCCI regarding this, but now Virat Kohli can be seen playing only in the fifth Test from India.
