Is short-of-runs Virat Kohli affected by all the noise made in the media about his poor form? Going by what his limited overs captain Rohit Sharma said on the eve of the first T20I, he could well be. 

How else then does one explain this utterance from Rohit: “If you guys [media] can keep quiet for a while, I’m sure he will be fine.” Kohli will walk out to bat today determined to shrug off a poor 26-run ODI series tally against the West Indies. “He knows how to handle pressure. He is in a great mental space from what I see,” said Rohit.
