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.
Meanwhile, the captain will look to improve his T20I record at Eden Gardens. In three games here, he has scored only 72 runs. His last innings was a match-winning half century against New Zealand in November 2021.
As reported on Monday, the dew will be a big factor but Rohit stressed that it won’t be used as an excuse in his camp.
