With the IND vs AUS series lost 1-3, all the fingers are pointed towards Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, for the outcome. They were both poor with the bat, with Rohit scoring only 31 runs in 3 matches, and Virat scoring 190 at an average of 23. But then, legendary Yuvraj Singh doesn’t want to blame the senior pros, and backed them in the toughest times of their career.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are Legends
“According to me, losing (to) New Zealand is more hurting. Because they are losing 3-0 at home. You know, that is not acceptable. This (losing BGT) is still acceptable because you have won two times in Australia. And this time you lost,” Yuvraj told ‘PTI Videos’ in an interview in Dubai.
“Australia has been a dominant side for the last so many years, that is my thought,” he added. Yuvraj Singh added, that the duo have achieved a lot in their careers, and are our legends. “We are talking about our greats, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, we are saying very bad things about them,” he said.
Yuvraj Singh Backs Duo Despite Poor IND vs AUS Series
“…people forget what they have achieved in the past. They are one of the greatest cricketers of this time. Okay, they lost, they did not play good cricket. They are getting hurt more than us.” In fact, the southpaw showed extreme faith in Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and even coach Gautam Gambhir, to bounce back from this mess.
“I feel that Gautam Gambhir as a coach, Ajit Agarkar as a selector, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, they are the best minds in cricket right now,” he asserted. “And they have to decide what’s the way for Indian cricket in future,” he said.

“I think it is a big thing. I have never seen in the past that the captain’s form is not going well and he himself has gone out. And this is Rohit Sharma’s greatness that he has kept the team ahead of himself.
“I think he is a great captain. Whether win or lose, he will always be a great captain. And in his captaincy, we have played the (ODI) World Cup final. We won a T20 World Cup. We have achieved a lot,” he pointed out.
