Michael Vaughan isn't sure whether Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will perform in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy or not.

Michael Vaughan has raised concerns over Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s recent form, fearing they may struggle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

Ahead of the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former England captain Michael Vaughan has made a stunning prediction. While India would be pinning their hopes on the big guns - Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - Vaughan reckons the two cricketers will not be making a massive impact in Australia.

Michael Vaughan spoke of the concerning form of India's star batter Virat Kohli in Test cricket, and why that will concern India ahead of the BGT.

However, Vaughan feared that the two batting stalwarts might not be in the right space mentally to handle Australia's formidable attack, featuring Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.

Ricky Ponting has reaffirmed his prediction that Australia will win the Border Gavaskar Trophy 3-1, believing India will struggle to take 20 wickets without the injured Mohammad Shami. He predicts Steve Smith or Rishabh Pant will be the series' leading run-scorer.
