Kaif Urges Indian Batters, Including Virat and Rohit, to Play Domestic Cricket for Form Ahead of BGT 2024-25

Players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may not receive special treatment in the Ranji Trophy, but it could benefit them. Apart from Rishabh Pant, no other batter has been in top form, which is a major concern for India ahead of the upcoming five-match test series against Australia.

Mohammad Kaif urged out-of-form Indian batters, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, to play domestic cricket and spend more time batting in the middle. He believes this will help improve their performance and boost their confidence. Kaif also mentioned that although they may not receive the special treatment they’re accustomed to in the Ranji Trophy, it will be beneficial for their preparation ahead of the test series against Australia.

Mohammad Kaif suggested to the Indian batters while saying:

Absolutely. They need the form, and they need to bat hours there. If they end up scoring a hundred, then it will benefit them immensely and serve as a morale booster. So whoever thinks that they are struggling to score runs and did not get enough game time, they should 100 per cent play in domestic cricket. Forget that you travel in big cars and flights and that you may not get VIP treatment there. If you want to find form, you need to put in that effort.
