Silliest Thing One Can Do Is To Write Off Champion Players, Says Hussey On Concerns About Rohit, Virat's Form
Rohit Sharma: Former Australia cricketer Mike Hussey has backed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be in good form in the upcoming five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, adding that the silliest thing one can do is to write off champion sportspersons. India will reach Australia for the marquee Test series on the back of a disappointing 3-0 series defeat to New Zealand at home, with the poor form of Rohit and Virat being amongst the main points of concern for the visitors’.
Rohit and Virat managed to score only 91 and 93 runs respectively, in India’s unprecedented 3-0 series defeat to New Zealand at home earlier this month. “You could hear earlier Gautam Gambhir talking about Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma not making runs. Well, the silliest thing you can do is to write off champion players.”
“We've seen it so many times in the past. They come under a bit of criticism and come out and perform really well. So, I'm backing those guys in particular to perform really strongly in Australia. They're proud Indians, Test cricketers and they'll put in a good performance.,” said Hussey on Fox Sports.
