Surinder Khanna launched a scathing attack on the underfire Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma by saying that they had not been living up to expectations in the ongoing five-match Test series Down Under. However, the duo had a poor year in 2024 with the bat in Test cricket, as they both averaged under 25 this year.

Surinder Khanna was quoted as saying by ANI: “What are Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli doing? Remove attention from Rishabh Pant. He used to play like this only from day one. He will continue to make such mistakes. Tell me about Kohli and Rohit. What have they been doing since the last 40-45 innings? They should automatically sit outside; if selectors are not doing it, then they should do it themselves. You and I can't throw them out.”
Surinder Khanna slams Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma over poor form
Khanna further explained, “The kind of form they are in, even if you bowl, they will get out. I am saying this from experience. The shot, which is their scoring one, why should they not play? David Gower and Gundappa Vishwanath scored so many runs by playing cut shots.”
Furthermore, Khanna criticized Kohli and Rohit for their poor form and urged the national selectors to take a call if they don’t announce their retirement from Test cricket. He emphasized that India should focus on playing young players, as they performed well under Bumrah's captaincy.
Since Rohit came back, we have been struggling: Surinder Khanna
He signed off by saying, “Our batters Kohli and Rohit are out of form, and selectors need to take a call. If they are not announcing...then selectors need to announce something. Going into the next test, playing youngsters, we will win, like under Jasprit Bumrah we won the first test. We outclassed Australia. Since Rohit came back, we have been struggling. I may sound harsh, but you have to take harsh decisions if you want to win. We watch, we cry... we have the right to say this.”
