Team India suffered a back-to-back Test series defeat against New Zealand and Australia, respectively. Here's when they play their next match in the New Year

Gautham Gambhir has insisted that any decision about the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be made by the players.

India contemplated Test cricket without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on Monday after the star duo again failed to fire in the bruising series defeat to Australia.

After dominating the series for over a decade, India lost the Border-Gavaksar Trophy to Australia for the first time since 2014. One of the biggest reasons behind India’s 1-3 defeat in the five-match series was the flop performances of two of the senior-most batters – Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
