Don’t Know Who These Experts Are And Why They’re Called Experts: Rohit On Kohli’s Critics

Mumbai: Team India clinched the T20I series against England by 2-1, notably India almost pulled off a huge run chase of 216 on the third and final game of the T20I series but fell short by 17 runs despite Suryakumar Yadav’s magnificent century.

However, Virat Kohli’s form is still a matter of great concern for the team and the management. Kohli is not in very good touch, be it IPL, Test matches or T20Is and many experts and former cricketers including Kapil Dev, Ajay Jadeja and Venkatesh Prasad have directly or indirectly suggested that the former captain should be replaced with the current form. needed. Considering how some of the new players have performed, the selection should not be made exclusively in the shortest format.

Subsequently, skipper Rohit Sharma defended Kohli, saying that outside chatter inside the dressing room doesn’t matter as the team he picks has a lot of thought behind it and he supports the players in the team. and one or more are defective. The series will not decide his fate.

“They [experts] are watching the game from the outside and don’t know what’s going on inside. We have our thought processes. We build our team and there’s a lot of thinking behind it. We support the boys and give them opportunities. So, these things you do not get to know from outside. So, whatever is happening outside is not important but what is happening inside is more important for us,” Rohit said at the post-match press conference.

Rohit said that every player goes through ups and downs in his career but that does not mean that he can ignore his past performances.

“If you talk about form then everyone goes through ups and downs. The player’s quality does not get affected. So, we should keep these things in our minds. When a player is doing well for so many years, then one or two bad series does not make him a bad player. We should not overlook his past performances. We who are in the team know the importance of the player. They have got all the right to talk about it but it does not matter for us too much,” he added.

Kohli will hope to regain his mojo as he returns to his favourite format – ODIs. England and India will now face each other in three-match ODI series starting at Oval in London, on Tuesday, July 12.
