Rohit Sharma and Kohli are essential components of the Indian cricket team. Ganguly
In addition, Ganguly criticized Virat Kohli and Rohit for missing white-ball assignments against South Africa. Remarkably, India is scheduled to play three Twenty20 internationals and three one-day internationals against South Africa in December 2023. In two Test matches, the team will also play the Proteas. While Rohit and Kohli will play the two-game Test series, they will not participate in the white-ball series.
“You witnessed Virat and Rohit’s World Cup performances. They play a crucial and vital role in the Indian cricket squad. Because the pressures are different, World Cups and bilateral series are not the same. They performed admirably throughout the World Cup, and Ganguly expressed optimism that in six to seven months they will once again be the best in the West Indies.
