Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Can Regain Form by Playing Domestic Cricket: Yuvraj Singh
Star Indian cricketers Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma have been under scrutiny for their poor form, despite efforts to regain momentum. Both players struggled to make a significant impact during the recent tours against Australia and the preceding home series against New Zealand, leading to India facing consecutive defeats.
Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has weighed in on the issue, offering a key suggestion for the duo to rediscover their form. Speaking about their performance, Yuvraj emphasized that participating in domestic cricket is the best way to regain confidence and form. He described it as an unmatched practice ground to rediscover their rhythm and dismissed alternative approaches as less effective.
While reflecting on India's losses, Yuvraj highlighted the natural cycle of praise and criticism that accompanies a team's victories and defeats. He reminded critics of Rohit's achievements, noting that he led India to a T20 World Cup victory and guided the ODI team to the finals. Additionally, he praised Rohit’s leadership in the IPL, where he has won five trophies for the Mumbai Indians. However, Yuvraj admitted that the recent 0-3 loss to New Zealand on home soil was particularly difficult to accept.
As the Ranji Trophy is set to commence on January 23, Rohit Sharma has already joined Mumbai's practice sessions. Prominent players like Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill are also gearing up to represent their respective teams in the tournament. However, there is still no confirmation about Virat Kohli's participation in domestic matches.
