Absence Of Rohit, Virat Gives England Mental Boost, Could Galvanise Indian Team Too, Says Harmison
World Test Championship: With the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the five-match Test series against England undoubtedly marks a new era for the Indian team led by Shubman Gill. Ironically, when India begins their new World Test Championship cycle against England in Leeds on June 20, it coincides with the day Kohli made his Test debut against the West Indies in 2011.
Steve Harmison, the former England fast bowler, has suggested that the Ben Stokes-led side gains a significant mental edge from the retirement of Rohit and Virat. At the same time, Harmison feels that the stalwart duo’s absence might similarly galvanise the Indian team and push them to play with increased intensity and cohesion.
“I think it gives (England) a mental boost to have no Rohit Sharma and no Virat Kohli. I think even though the two great players possibly weren't the great players they were five to ten years ago, the sight of Virat and Rohit being on a team sheet still holds a lot of weight. So with no great players as those two in the starting eleven, that also sometimes galvanises the team.”
