During an interview after the match. Cricketer Virat Kohli was asked a question on Rohit Sharma at a press conference after Sunday\u2019s India vs Pakistan match at the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021.<\/p>\n
Virat laughed it off, as a journalist asked him, if he should have considered Ishan Kishan playing ahead of Rohit Sharma who got out for a duck on the very first ball he faced.<\/p>\n
On this Virat replied, \u201cThat\u2019s a very brave question. What do you think, sir? I played the team that I thought was the best. What is your opinion? Will you drop Rohit Sharma from T20 Internationals? You know what he did in the last game that we played?\u201d<\/p>\n
Further, Virat laughed and added, \u201cUnbelievable! Sir, if you want controversy, please tell me before, so I can answer accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n
On this reply Aftab Shivdasani applauded. He Virat\u2019s video and wrote on Twitter, \u201cRespect. That\u2019s how leaders should conduct themselves. @imVkohli.\u201d<\/p>\n
