Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli warned, challenge laid bare amid World Cup build-up: ‘Can’t take 1-2 games to get into groove'

Deep Dasgupta warned Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to hit the ground running and not waste 1-2 games to get into groove during World Cup build-up.

India lost the series against England 1-2; Rohit scored a century in the decider, Kohli scored two half-centuries, but both failed in the opening ODI.

Dasgupta said the support staff must create an environment to get the best out of players, and no conversation about places is needed given their performances.

Rohit and Kohli's future in ODIs has been under discussion since they retired from Tests, with speculation about Rohit's last game at Lord's denied by BCCI.
