India coach Gautam Gambhir said veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still have a future in the team if they want it, despite disappointing returns on the test tour of 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.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma still have the desire to succeed and will choose their Test futures with the team's best interests in mind, according to India head coach Gautam Gambhir.
