Sanjay Manjrekar said, Virat Kohli was far ahead of Rohit Sharma in Test cricket.
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have no comparison in Test cricket. Kohli’s career in the red ball format is far ahead of Rohit. If Rohit played more Tests in England, then his batting average would not have been 30.
Manjrekar posted a video on his Instagram handle and said, Rohit and Virat could definitely be compared in ODIs, but there was a huge difference between the two in the test.
It is wrong to connect Rohit with Virat Sanjay Manjrekar said in the Instagram video, “India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill said,” He will feel lacking of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, but there is no pressure on them. “
A fact to this statement troubled me a lot, which was in my mind for a long time. That is, Virat and Rohit are being clubbing together. For both of them, weeping terms are also used. Which is wrong “
Manjrekar said, Kohli scored 12 centuries in SENA countries, while Rohit could score only 1 century.
Comparison in ODIs, but wrong in test Manjrekar further said in his video, “I understand the use of ‘Ro-co’ in ODI cricket, although there is some difference here, but it will be talked about later. At the moment I am angry with both comparison in Test cricket.
Both should not have any comparison in red ball cricket. I will never keep both of them in the same scales. If I talk about the numbers, Virat Kohli has scored 12 centuries in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries. While Rohit could score only 1 century. I am telling numbers for those who do not matter to my words. “
Sanjay Manjrekar posted a video on his Instagram handle and said, Virat’s test Legacy is very big.
If Rohit plays more Tests, the average would be less than 30 Manjrekar further said, “Rohit played about 100 innings in SENA countries, but could score a single century. This century also came in 2021. His batting average is close to 40, but he would have fallen average to 30. If he had reached 30. If he had played the next series against England, he would have fallen average.
When it comes to Test cricket, please do not compare Rohit and Virat. Virat red balls are very high in cricket, if they are compared to Rohit. ‘Ro-co’ term can be used in white ball cricket, but in red ball cricket, please stop using it. “
Rohit-Virat both retired in May Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from the Test in May. Rohit announced retirement on May 7, while Kohli on 12 May. The two had earlier said goodbye to the smallest format after winning the T20 World Cup on 29 June 2024.
Manjrekar told about the ‘Ro-K’ term, it has ‘Roe’ i.e. Rohit and ‘Ko’ i.e. Kohli. Looking at the career of both as batter, Virat scored 9230 runs in 123 Tests at an average of around 47. Among them, he had 30 centuries and 31 fifty. He also scored 6 double centuries.
On the other hand, Rohit scored 4301 runs in 67 Tests at an average of around 40. She had 12 centuries and 18 fifty. These also included a double century. Rohit retired from the Test at the age of 38, while Virat said goodbye to the red ball cricket in 36 years.
