Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have undergone a severe dip in form, as they have failed to meet expectations in the game during the Border Gavaskar Trophy series. While Kohli showed flair in the Perth Test, he failed to score in the next two matches. Rohit, who joined the India camp in the second test match, also could not perform while being a part of the middle order. It is yet to be seen if the veteran duo get their form back in the game.

Following India’s draw with Australia in the Brisbane Test, all eyes are on the Boxing Day Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
