India captain Rohit Sharma has broken his silence on Virat Kohli’s golden duck against Afghanistan in the third T20I in Bengaluru. Because the talisman was mercilessly bashed on social media after keeping a clean sheet at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
During an unforgettable stay at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli’s second home for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), India’s talismanic batsman set an unwanted record. Virat Kohli’s first dismissal of the ball in T20Is took him to 35 ducks in international cricket, the most by an Indian player on the world stage.Before Virat Kohli, the coveted record was held by Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 34 ducks in 24 centuries. In another setback for Virat Kohli, the Delhi-born premiership failed to reach 12,000 runs in T20s. He needed just six points to reach the milestone at the M’s. The Chinnaswamy Stadium failed to add a single point to Karnataka’s collection.
However, India captain Rohit Sharma did not criticize Virat Kohli for his failure in Bengaluru. Instead, the 35-year-old showed his desire to run fast and supported him. “We need to give the players an idea of their position and the brand of cricket they want to play. Children know what to expect when they land.
As you saw today, Kohli tried to do something he doesn’t normally do early on, but he showed his intentions. The same goes for Samson. He went out first but the intention is there,” Rohit Sharma told Jio Cinemas.”Look, I don’t want to think about it right now.” The 50-over World Cup is the best prize for me. That’s not to say I don’t consider the T20 World Cup and the Test Championship to be highlights.
I grew up watching the ODI World Cup and the atmosphere in India was different than ever. We tried our best but unfortunately we couldn’t win. The whole team was upset and I’m sure people were upset. But now we have a chance to win the T20 World Cup and we hope to win it,” added Rohit Sharma.
