Gavaskar didn't mince words while pointing out the repeated failures of the team's batters, who failed to cross the 200 mark six out of nine times during the series.

Both Rohit and Kohli, regarded as two of the greatest of the contemporary era have recently struggled with their batting especially in Test matches.

"Yes, there will be a review meeting but no firing. C'mon, you can't sack a coach for the batters' poor show in one series. Gautam Gambhir will remain the coach, and Virat and Rohit will feature in the England series. The focus is Champions Trophy," BCCI sources told IANS on Tuesday.

Sam Konstas threw the Indians off with his unorthodox approach in his first innings, but then found out Test cricket runs are harder to get than headlines.

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.
