Shastri said, "If there’s a gap for them, they should go back and play domestic cricket. it's important for them to play with the younger players, especially after playing Test matches for so long.

Even with an undefeated century against Australia, Kohli have scored 190 runs in 5 test matches and also Rohit Sharma average is 6.2 very poor performance. These remarks came after loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Shastri remarked that, Kohli's issue is off-stump and spin. Turning tracks were India’s weaknesses.

Shastri left with final decision Kohli and Rohit with the comments they had to made the discussion. He stated, “They know how hungry they are,” at the ages of 36 and 38, it makes sense for Kohli and Rohit to reduce their desire to play the game.

Tendulkar’s undoubted impact as the greatest batsman, however, Shastri said, players like him or Brian Lara could serve to help transition the team and guide the younger generation. “Even during the final years of his batting, I am sure Tendulkar was not at his best but he contribute to help the next generation,” Shastri said.
