Pakistan registered a dominating 10-wicket win over India in the much-awaited fourth match of the super-12 stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai. After winning, the toss, the Pakistan skipper, Babar Azam asked the arch-rivals to bat first and his bowlers didn’t disappoint as India was three down in the first six overs itself with Rohit Sharma getting out on the golden duck. In the post-match press, a conference reporter asked Virat Kohli if Rohit should be replaced by Ishan Kishan.
The journalist started with criticizing the team selection and followed it by asking Virat that can it be right to say that Ishan Kishan would’ve been a better choice than Rohit Sharma. Virat Kohli had a sarcastic smile on his face and said, ” It’s a very brave question. What do you think sir? I played with the team which I thought what the best. What is your opinion?”

Virat Kohli further added, “Will you drop Rohit Sharma from a T20Is? Even after knowing what he did for us in the last game? Unbelievable. If you want controversy, then tell before.” In the end, Kohli was laughing as he was surprised by the bizarre thought of dropping Rohit Sharma.
