It is tough for me as only …

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. These ODIs will be India’s first away from home since October last year in Australia, where the team under Shubman Gill lost 2-1. Kohli got two ducks before scoring 74 in a pride-salvaging win. Sharma, on the other hand, yielded scores of 8, 73 and 121 not out. Being one-format players now, veteran stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are always under pressure to deliver. (Star Sports India) Pitches in England, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand are in stark contrast to the ones in India. While there has been an attempt in those four countries to make white-ball pitches batsmen-friendly in recent years, they have still not been able to produce pitches like the ones in India.
