Sanjay Manjrekar Cautions Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma Ahead Of BGT

Former Indian cricketer and current commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has made a bold assertion regarding the Test careers of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. He posits that the upcoming Test series in Australia will be their last chance to prove their mettle in the longest format of cricket.

Sanjay Manjrekar Cautions Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma Ahead Of BGT:

After India’s dismal 0-3 defeat against New Zealand, attention naturally turns to the performances of Kohli and Sharma. Manjrekar highlighted the stark contrast in playing conditions that Australia offers, which was absent during the recent home series. “If there was another home series now after this and another one after that, then it would have been something that maybe the selectors would have contemplated. But now because the next series is going to be in Australia, which is going to be a completely different ball game,” Manjrekar explained on ESPNCricinfo.

The Australian conditions, known for pace and bounce, promise a different challenge than the spin-friendly pitches of the subcontinent. “And you look at the numbers; those are depressing numbers, to say the least. Similar conditions, you would worry about the Indian batting line-up. But when you go to Australia, it’s completely different. What you’ll get is mostly pace and bounce,” he continued, underscoring the shift in skill requirements.

Kohli and Sharma’s Recent Struggles

Kohli and Sharma have faced increased scrutiny for their performances in Test cricket, particularly highlighted by their struggles against New Zealand. However, Manjrekar believes that Australia offers them a fresh canvas. “These were just completely different pitches. They needed some skills to play spin well. But it’s going to be a different test in Australia,” he remarked, suggesting that their past performances might not predict their future ones in these contrasting conditions.

A Critical Juncture in Their Careers

Manjrekar’s comments indicate that this series could be a turning point for both players. “So, there is still hope that everything will depend on how they go in Australia. And that will be a confirmation of where their career is heading. And it’s not just about runs, how they look while getting their runs,” he added. This statement reflects the importance of not just the runs scored but the manner in which they are accumulated, emphasizing the quality of their innings.

Looking Ahead

As Kohli and Sharma prepare for what could be their defining moments in Test cricket, the Australian series looms large. Manjrekar’s analysis suggests that this tour will not only test their abilities against pace and bounce but also provide clarity on their future in the Test arena. Whether they rise to the challenge or falter will shape their legacy in the game’s longest format, making this series a must-watch for cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
