CRICKET
The journalist asked if there is a place for left-handed opener Ishan Kishan in the side instead of Rohit Sharma at the top of the order for India.
Team India skipper Virat Kohli was taken aback by a question posed by a Pakistani reporter during the press conference after the match in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021. Pakistan made history on Sunday, October 24 as they beat India for the first time ever in a World Cup game across 50-over and 20-over formats.
After the match, a journalist straight up asked Kohli if there is a place for left-handed opener Ishan Kishan in the side instead of Rohit Sharma at the top of the order for India. Labelling it a brave question, Kohli was baffled and surprised, all at the same time at the existence of it in the first place.
"That's a very brave question. What do you think, sir? I played the team that I thought was the best. What is your opinion?"
"Will you drop Rohit Sharma from T20 international? Will you drop Rohit Sharma? Do you know what he did in the last game we played? Unbelievable (laughs). Sir, if you want controversy, please tell me before so I can answer accordingly," he added.

Team India were pegged back early by the left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi, who removed Rohit Sharma for a duck in the very first over and clean bowled KL Rahul on the first ball of his next over as the men in blue couldn't recover from the same.
The rebuilding phase got prolonged for India as they lost Suryakumar Yadav as well in the powerplay. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant helped their side get to a total of 151 runs but it wasn't enough as Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam breezed through to the target with immaculate ease.
