Rohit sharma would not be missed as much as Virat Kohli by Indian Team Says Geoffrey Boycott: There will be more lack of greatness than Rohit

India and England will play five Tests in the next six weeks and will start their campaign in the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. Boycott wrote in his column in ‘Daily Telegraph’, ‘Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired will harm India’s possibilities of defeating England. Kohli is the biggest disadvantage as he has been his best batsman in all three formats. Due to India playing a lot of international cricket and very little rest, it has a lot of effect and the mind gets tired.

The former England captain described Kohli’s absence as a major setback. Boycott said, ‘It does not matter how much talent or experience you have, if you are not mentally refreshed and are not ready for the challenge then it becomes tired. Rohit is a great batsman. The player who plays a great stroke in his best time, but he would not be remembered as much as Kohli because his Test record was good but not extraordinary. There has been a lack of continuity in his batting over the years. Rohit was never a natural athlete like Kohli and he knows that it can be very difficult to start the innings in England because the new ball rotates more. To achieve success, you have to be ready for every kind of challenge.

These two veterans of Indian cricket announced retirement from the traditional format of the game last month, after which the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) appointed Shubman Gill as the team’s captain in place of Rohit. India last won the Test series in England in 2007, while the hosts defeated Zimbabwe in Trentbridge last month. Boycott has urged the Ben Stokes -led team to restrain the ‘Bazball’ style (playing aggressively) and to use some general knowledge as victory is more important than entertainment. He said, ‘If England restrains the badgeball and uses some general knowledge, then it should be defeated by India. Many times his cricket has been thrilling and very entertaining, but he has lost Test matches with careless batting.

Boycott said, ‘His only idea should be won because there is no use to tell how good you are while the last three World Test Championship Finals have been played in our country but England has not been able to qualify for any of them. They should be embarrassed. Their goal should be to make it to the next WTC final.
