Rohit Sharma clears the air about Virat Kohli's spot in the Indian T20I eleven

Virat Kohli did not have his most productive outing against England in the T20Is where he conjured up just 12 runs from the two games. Amidst question marks over his place in the Indian team, Captain Rohit Sharma has cleared the air and backed his former skipper.

Rohit disagreed with the fact that Virat Kohli's spot in the Indian eleven can be a problem. “It does not put us in a difficult spot, and I don’t know who these experts are and why they are being referred to as experts. They witness the game from the outside. They do not know what happens on the insides. We have our own thought processes. We make teams. There are a lot of discussions and thinking behind it. We also back the boys and offer them chances but people on the outside do not know it,” said Rohit.

Rohit also issued a strong riposte to the doubters. “Every player goes through ups and downs in their career, but a player’s quality always remains intact. We should always remember these things, especially when such comments happen from the outside. We see a player’s quality and back them. This has happened with me and other players as well in the past. This is nothing new,” he added.
