MUMBAI: Under fire after some uncharacteristically poor performances in the ongoing Test series against New Zealand at home, India's Test captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli received a solid vote of confidence from the team's assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, a couple of days before the third Test at the Wankhede Stadium kicks off on Friday.
In the twilight of their illustrious careers, both Rohit and Kohli are facing flak for their batting failures, with their slump being seen as a major reason why India are currently trailing 2-0, reducing the Mumbai Test to a dead rubber.
