Leave Kohli alone; he is in a very good space: Rohit Sharma

TIL Desk Sports/ In no mood to talk about the prolonged lean patch that Virat Kohli is enduring, India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday said “everything will fall in place” if the chatter around him stops. Ahead of the T20 series against the West Indies starting Wednesday, media queries were once again focussed on Kohli’s batting form and Rohit wasn’t pleased.

“I think it starts from you guys,” Rohit was curt in his first response. “If you guys (media) can keep quiet for a while, everything will be alright. If talking from your side stops, everything will be taken care of,” he added, in support of his predecessor. Rohit said Kohli is not under any pressure and will be back among the runs soon.

“He is in a very good space and he has been part of international team for more than a decade. He has spent so much time in international cricket that he knows how to handle pressure situations,” Rohit said, not amused at repeated queries on Kohli’s form.
