"Do Not Get It": Rohit Sharma On Chatter Regarding Virat Kohli's Form

Virat Kohli's poor run of form continued in the second ODI of the three-match series against England at Lord's Cricket Stadium as he was dismissed by David Willey after scoring just 16. Before this game, the right-handed batter had not gotten among the runs in the Edgbaston Test and then the Test series. The talk regarding Kohli's form is increasing by the minute, however, skipper Rohit Sharma once again defended the premier batter, saying he does not understand why the form of Kohli is being discussed again and again.

"Charcha kyu ho rahi hai (Rohit when asked about the chatter regarding Kohli's form). I do not get it. He has played so many matches. He is playing from so many years. He is such a great batter so he does not need reassurance. I talked about this in my last press conference too, form goes up and down, that is part and parcel of any cricketer's career. So, a player like him, who has played for so many years, who has made so many runs, who has won so many matches, for him, he only needs one or two good innings (to bounce back)," said Rohit during the press conference after the second ODI which India lost by 100 runs.

"That is my thinking and I am sure all those who follow cricket will think similarly. We do have chats about about this topic, but we should also understand and think when we talk about such things. We have seen performance of all players goes up and down, but the quality of the player never gets bad. That we all should keep in mind. That is very important.

There is a slump in every player's life, there is no player who has performed well in
