India Will Miss Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja In South Africa: Virat Kohli

By IANS News December 15, 2021 • 19:29 PM View: 1563

India Test skipper Virat Kohli admitted that India will miss the services of experienced duo Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja in the upcoming Test series against South Africa. The duo's absence means that India will be tested on the opening front as well as in their lower-order batting and five bowlers' combination.

Sharma had been rested from Tests against New Zealand and was promoted as vice-captain ahead of trip to South Africa. But in a practice session in Mumbai, Sharma injured his left hamstring, thereby ruling him out of the series with Gujarat opener Priyank Panchal drafted as his replacement.
