Indian white-ball captain Rohit Sharma backs the former captain Virat Kohli while speaking on the eve of the T20 Series opening match of IND vs WI. Rohit Sharma defenses Kohli and asked the media to stop chattering about Kohli's form.
Virat Kohli was seen struggling while batting in the last 3-match ODI series against the West Indies. He scored only 26 runs in the series. And while speaking to the media, everyone started questioning Kohli's form to Rohit. The Captain clearly asked the media to stop criticizing Kohli and pointed fingers at the media for unnecessary scrutiny. The captain also mentioned that none of the team members and management are having any issues with Kohli.
He was asked how he and the head coach Rahul Dravid will deal with Kohli's form. He replied, "I think it all starts with you guys. If talking from your side stops, everything will be taken care of. He is in a very good space from what I can see and he has been part of the international team for more than a decade. He has spent so much time in international cricket that he knows how to handle pressure situations. So I think everything starts from you guys. If you guys can keep it quiet for a bit everything will fall in place."
Rohit Sharma was seen in a playful mood in the interview after the ODI series. But he was not absolutely pleased with the media on the eve of the T20 opening match of IND vs WI for only criticizing Kohli.
