Focus on Virat, Rohit: 'Need right selectors for tough chat with big players'

In all likelihood, India's ongoing tour could be the last one Down Under for stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. But on pace-friendly Australian soil, which makes run-scoring a tough job, the focus is always on the batters and fast bowlers. And that puts the spotlight on Kohli and Rohit, who haven't been at the top of their game consistently of late.

Kohli roared in Perth with a Test century after a long barren spell, but Rohit's poor run extended with scores of 3 and 6 in the two innings at Adelaide, after he missed the first Test following the birth of his child.
