Why Is This Discussion Happening, I Can’t Understand: Rohit To Journalist On Kohli’s Form
Mumbai: India captain Rohit Sharma once again defended Virat Kohli after the former captain was cheaply dismissed for 16 in the second ODI against England at Lord’s on Thursday.
Kohli started his innings in a really good rhythm, hitting three boundaries and once again poked the outside ball and was left behind. Also Read: Reece Topley Records Best-Ever Bowling Figures By An England Bowler In Men’s ODI History
With another low score, a journalist, during the post-match press conference asked Rohit about Kohli’s form but even before he could complete his question, the reporter started by saying, “Virat Kohli ke baare me sabse zyada charcha ho rahi hai….” (Virat Kohli is the most talked about person right now) when Rohit Sharma cut him in the middle of his question and immediately said, “Kyun ho rahi hai, yaar. Matlab mujhe samajh mein nahin aata, bhai.” (Why is this discussion happening. I can’t understand this).
Rohit Sharma then let the reporter finish his question and asked the captain how he feels when he sees a successful player like Kohli unable to score runs for so long.
Rohit Sharma replied, “He has played so many matches and has been playing the game for so many years. He’s such a good batsman that he does not need reassurance. I had mentioned this previously too that form keeps flickering. It is a part and parcel of the game for every cricketer. Everyone faces a similar time during their careers.
“So for players who have played so many years, played so many matches, and scored numerous runs, they just need one or two innings to get back to form, that’s what I think. We know that this topic (Kohli’s form) is being discussed outside, but we need to understand that every player’s performance witnesses ups and downs, but the quality of the player remains the same. There’s no player who has been consistent in every match that he’s played. Everyone faces a slump,” Sharma further responded to the reporter.

Virat Kohli has been in and out of the international setup in recent times for different reasons. After the conclusion of IPL 2022, he missed the T20I series against South Africa and was made a separate squad for Ireland. Starting with the England tour, Kohli could only manage 11 and 20 runs in two innings respectively.
