India's prominent batsmen, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, are currently facing challenges in the longest format of the game. In the recent Adelaide Test against Australia, Rohit recorded single-digit scores in both innings, while Kohli demonstrated some revival with a century in Perth but could not capitalize on that form during the pink-ball Test. Specifically, Rohit managed scores of 3 and 6 in Adelaide, whereas Kohli was dismissed for 7 in the first innings and 11 in the second.

Since the commencement of India's home season in August, both players have been under scrutiny. Rohit has achieved only one half-century in five Tests against Bangladesh and New Zealand, a feat matched by Kohli. As a result, the pressure is mounting on these experienced batsmen to deliver substantial performances, especially as India aims for a spot in the World Test Championship final.

On Tuesday, the pair participated in a net session in Adelaide in preparation for the upcoming third Test in Brisbane. However, footage from their practice has drawn criticism on social media, with fans voicing their disappointment over the emphasis placed on the duo, given their recent lack of impactful performances. Additionally, observers noted that both players, particularly Rohit, appeared to struggle with their timing during the session.

Here's how the fans reacted:

India, on the other hand, aims to stage a robust resurgence in Brisbane, a location where the team previously etched its name in history during its last Test series in Australia. It was at the Gabba that India clinched a remarkable 2-1 series victory, marking its second consecutive triumph on Australian soil. Furthermore, India brought an end to Australia's long-standing winning streak at this venue, which had persisted since 1989.

Although Kohli was not part of the playing eleven that achieved the historic win at the Gabba in 2021, Rohit participated under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane during that match.
