In nine innings of the five Test matches, Virat Kohli managed only 190 runs. The only big run that came from his bat was in the second innings of the first Test at Perth, where he remained unbeaten on 100. In the next seven innings, his highest score was 36.

Following the loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, once thought a lot of changes would be made to the Indian set-up, but that is not the case.

While Rohit missed the 5th and final match in Sydney over poor form, Kohli's future has been also up for debate, owing to his poor run of form. When Gambhir was asked about their future in India's Test team, he refused to show a clear path, saying it all depends on the 'hunger' they have.

The recent report has raised questions about Gambhir's job security and the possibility of Rohit and Kohli touring England.

Virat Kohli last played a Ranji Trophy match in 2012 while Rohit Sharma's most recent domestic red-ball game was in the 2015-16 season.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Manoj Tiwary said Gautam Gambhir will not be able to drop either Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli.
