NEW DELHI: Team India is feeling the pressure after losing the Test series to New Zealand. It's the first time they have been whitewashed at home in a three-Test series and the poor show by batters has come under scrutiny. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were a big disappointment during the series as the experienced duo failed to get going. India are now set to take on Australia in a high-profile Border Gavaskar Trophy and need a 4-0 result to qualify for the World Test Championship final - without needing anyone else's help.
Former India pacer Karsan Ghavri, who represented India in 39 Tests and 19 ODIs from 1975 to 1981, believes it's high time for Rohit and Virat to step up in red-ball cricket. According to the former left-arm pacer, their performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy could well determine their future in Test cricket.
