Sanjay Manjrekar feels it's high time for India stalwart Virat Kohli to get some runs and overcome his "weakness" of edging it away on outside off stump deliveries.

Following India's loss against Australia at the MCG, discussions have emerged about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Test cricket. Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his support for Kohli, emphasizing his value as a Test batter and criticized the coaching approach towards improving his form.

Sanjay Manjrekar believes there is no comparison between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli while making a case for why the latter deserves a longer rope.

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has come out in support of Virat Kohli, as the criticism mounts after the latter's dismal performance in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Manjrekar stressed that it is unfair to judge Kohli and Rohit Sharma with the same yardstick in Test cricket.

Sanjay Manjrekar said that it was unfair to judge Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by the same standard, particularly in light of calls for their retirement after their struggles in the Boxing Day Test.

While ace India batter Virat Kohli has played 122 Tests, scoring 9207 runs with 30 hundreds, skipper Rohit Sharma has accumulated 4302 runs in 67 Tests. But the experienced duo have failed to turn up in their best form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli’s hard work with the bat was undone after a slight miscommunication resulted in an unfortunate runout of the former, ending their 102-run partnership for the third wicket in India’s first innings of the Boxing Day Test.
