Kohli, Rohit actively involved in team's WC preparations: Kotak

Bengaluru, Jan 13 (UNI) India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak on Tuesday said Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma remain actively involved in the team’s long-term plans for One-Day Internationals, including preparations for next year’s World Cup.
"They definitely make plans. Now that they’re playing only one format, they want India to win everywhere when they are there. With the amount of experience they have, they can share [Gambhir] lot of ideas with other players, and they do discuss. They discuss with Gautam [Gambhir] the ODI format, the matches that we have and our plans for South Africa," Kotak told reporters on the eve of India’s second ODI against New Zealand.
Kotak added that the duo’s collaboration with the new coaching setup has been closely observed, especially after India's struggles in Tests and their shift away from red-ball cricket before last year’s England tour.
