Indian Test captain Virat Kohli was at his candid best as he addressed the media ahead of the team's departure for the upcoming three-match Test series in South Africa. Virat has been at the centre of a lot of rumours and conversation of late after the Board of Control for Cricket in India's decision to appoint Rohit Sharma as India's captain in One-Day Internationals. While there have been several unsubstantiated reports of a "rift" between Virat and Rohit for a couple of years now, the chatter around the same grew in the past few days as Rohit pulled out of the Test series due to a hamstring injury and reports started doing the rounds about Kohli looking to pull out of the ODI series in South Africa, that is to follow the Test matches.
Virat decided to put an end to all rumours and chat as he met all the contentious questions head on and gave crytal clear answers, which should shut down the rumour mils for good.
