Modern-day greats will figure out their way - Rohit Sharma expresses firm belief in Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has hit somewhat of a rough patch in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy despite scoring a century in the second innings of the Perth Test match. With the challenges rising, Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain was asked in the pre-match presser of the MCG Test whether there will be a shuffle in the batting order for India and what is expected of Virat Kohli.

The Indian captain made it clear that Team India is going to be tight-lipped about the batting order of the Boxing Day Test while he underlined it loud and clear that there are no reasons for Virat Kohli to be doubted. He is certain of the fact that the former Indian captain will turn the tide around. Rohit said, “You only said he is a modern-day great. Modern-day greats will figure out their way or the path (to overcome issues).”

Shedding light on the batting order, Sharma said, “Let's not worry about that (the batting order). I think 'who bats where?' is something that we need to figure out within ourselves. It's not something I should be discussing at every press conference. Whatever it takes for our team to look good or gives the best chance to succeed, we will do that.”

Rohit also explained that he doesn’t want Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill much to worry about. He concluded by stating, “See, as I told you, all these youngsters - Rishabh, Gill, Jaiswal, all these youngsters are in the same boat. We don't want to complicate what they are doing. They know what they are expected to do. Our job here is to keep talking to them about small things like match awareness. I don't think we need to tell them more and complicate stuff.”
