Gavaskar had said in the comment box: ‘I think we have made the future a glimpse. The future of the Indian Batting. Rahul Dravid has just called it a day. We do not know how long Sachin Tendulkar and VV’s Laxman will be nearby. But I think (Kohli and Rohit) is the manager’s future. “
Both Kohli and Rohit have already been withdrawn from Test- and T20i Cricket, and now they are only active in ODI Cricket. They will soon be seen in action in the three-match ODI series in Australia.
