Virat Kohli loses cool after loss against Pakistan, says 'wear our cricket kit and walk into the field' in press conference
Zee News
Asked if it was "overconfidence against Pakistan" that led to the crushing defeat, skipper Virat Kohli lost his cool and said that he wished people asking such questions could be in the Indian cricketers' shoes and understand what pressure is. Before, Sunday's game, India had never lost an ICC T20 World Cup game to their arch-rivals, but Azam and Rizwan broke that jinx, with a 152-run stand achieved in 17.5 overs.
There were more fireworks and fiery comments in Virat Kohli's post-match press conference than there were from the Indian side during their ICC T20 World Cup 'Super 12' match against Pakistan, which the 2007 champions lost by 10 wickets.
Rattled by the crushing defeat -- caused mainly due to the lack of application on the part of the Indian bowlers who kept bowling lollipops to the likes of Babar Azam (68 not out) and Mohammad Rizwan (79 not out), and the top order which seemed to have forgotten to bat -- Kohli's comments after the game bordered on sarcasm, indicating he was truly stumped by the loss.
