India had a 12-0 record in World Cup matches against their neighbours going into the Dubai blockbuster, but Pakistan halted that trend with a 10-wicket victory in the Super 12 Group Two matchup. Will You Drop Rohit Sharma from T20 Internationals Asked Kohli?
Kohli, who will step down as India’s T20 captain after the tournament, asked if the team made a mistake by not starting rookie batter Ishan Kishan instead of Rohit Sharma at the top of the order in the post-match press conference.
Kohli was taken aback by the question, but after a little pause, he responded with a wry smile: “It’s a very brave question. What do you think, sir?”
Rohit is largely expect to succeed Kohli as India’s T20 captain, and his outstanding record in the white-ball forms makes him a clear option.
Will You Drop Rohit Sharma from T20 Internationals Asked Kohli?
In 50-overs cricket, the Mumbai batsman has three double hundreds, including the top ODI score of 264, and four centuries in the 20-overs format for India.
In India’s warm-up game against Australia before of the T20 World Cup, Rohit, 34, quit after a 41-ball 60.
Press Conference:
“I chose to play the team I thought was the greatest. “How do you feel about it?” Kohli continued, his grin clearly visible on his face. “Will Rohit Sharma be dropp from T20 internationals?” You’re going to bench Rohit Sharma?
“Do you know what he did in the last game that we played? Yeah?”
Kishan, 23, has represented India in two One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals, and he demonstrated his talent with an unbroken 70 in a warm-up match against England.
“Unbelievable,” Kohli said, after briefly covering his face with his hand and a shake of the head. “If you want controversy, please tell me before so I can answer accordingly.”
