As the World Test Championship started, Kohli had 922 points up his sleeve, while Rohit was playing catch-up with 524 in his kitty.

After two Test matches, the glimpse has changed completely and Sharma has received emphatic gains to climb higher up the order while Kohli has dropped by more than a proverbial mile.

Rohit Sharma now has 773 points with a couple of incredible knocks already in the ongoing edition of the tournament while Kohli has come nowhere close to his scintillating self.

It might be that his over-cautious is costing him dearly with the Indian run-machine chasing mirages down the off-side and is succumbing to the searing heat.

Given the towering presence of the Indian skipper, India will be hoping that he starts firing soon because with so many options doing the rounds, the Indian contingent won’t really back down from trying a few alternatives.

India’s next Test match will be at Headingly, and it is slated to start from 25th August. Kohli will be eyeing a comeback to arrest his fall, and England will be targeting a few amends to level the series.
