Watch: Virat Kohli Laughs Off Question On Whether He Will "Drop Rohit Sharma"

T20 World Cup, IND vs PAK: Virat Kohli was left dumbstruck by a journalist's question after India's defeat to Pakistan in their Super 12 fixture on Sunday.

After India's stunning defeat to Pakistan in their T20 World Cup opener, Virat Kohli was taken aback during the post-match press conference when a journalist asked him if Ishan Kishan could replace Rohit Sharma in the next match. Kishan registered a knock of 70 runs off 46 balls during India's warm-up match against England but didn't feature in the playing XI for Sunday's Super 12 fixture at the Dubai International Stadium. Surprised by the question, Kohli asked the journalist, "It's a very brave question. What do you think, sir?"

After getting further pressed to answer the question, the Team India captain said, "I played the team that I thought was the best. What is your opinion?"

"Will you drop Rohit Sharma from T20 internationals? You'll drop Rohit Sharma? Do you know what he did in the last game that we played? Yeah? Unbelievable. If you want controversy, please tell me before so I can answer accordingly", he further added.
