India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are facing scrutiny over their recent form as they prepare for the New Year's Test against Australia in Sydney. The article highlights how Australian tours have historically impacted Test careers, citing examples of players who have either thrived or faded during their visits to the country.
Out of form India captain Rohit Sharma is under pressure to hold his spot in the XI to face Australia in the New Year’s Test at the SCG in Sydney.The tourists must pick the best possible XI as decline of Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma is laid clear against Australia .

Now, as the wheel turns, he and captain Rohit Sharma form another pair of champions whose decline is being laid clear by the harsh light of the southern sun.Kohli is the one who looks like he is fighting it: still physically fit to the point of twanging like a taut string, still simmering on the field with the intensity that sees him do unnecessary things like, still looking organised with his movements at the crease and glaring at the ball as if trying to read its mind. Everything up until the point when his concentration flickers like a fuse has popped, and he gets out playing the same push outside off-stump. The disconnect between approach and result appears to be perplexing Kohli as much as anybod
