Virat Kohli has
defended his Delhi mate Ishant Sharma in the pre-match press conference in
Jaipur. Both have been good chums since they began playing together for Delhi,
in age-group cricket and Ranji Trophy. The two debuted around the same time for
Delhi.
"I
don't think you can drop a player on the basis of two poor matches. Ishant has
had some good performances in England (Champions Trophy) and West Indies.
Especially in England, he was an important bowler for us. You can't just write
off somebody like that," Kohli said.
"In T20s, everyone gets hit. Even
Australian bowlers went for 200 plus score. They didn't change their bowlers in
the next match. This is my opinion and rest is on the team management. I am not
the captain or the coach to decide on selection matters."
