    Jonty Rhodes Backs Kohli, Rohit, Says Laying Blame Of BGT Defeat On Two People Is Harsh

    Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue: Indian top order batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have borne a majority of the brunt for India’s 1-3 defeat in the recently-concluded 2024/25 Border Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia. However, former South African great Jonty Rhodes has backed the duo, claiming that India’s two series victory in Australia have resulted in the fans forgetting the conditions are tough in Down Under.

    "Everybody's entitled to their opinion. Cricket is that kind of game and I think the cricket players themselves in this day and age, there is no escape from the public, whether it's fans who love them or fans who are criticizing them with social media, journalism these days. Everybody seems to be a cricketing expert and players learn to live with that.

    “Touring Australia is really tough. And I think maybe the Indian fans have forgotten that because India have been so successful in the past in their last two tours to Australia. But it wasn't easy. You know, some great performances by the team almost resurrected the previous tours. And it didn't quite happen this time around so to lay the blame at the feet of two people is harsh,” Rhodes told IANS.
