No problem with Rohit, tired of clarifying: Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ Update from the India Test captain Virat Kohli’s pre-departure press conference before the tour of South Africa. “There is no problem between me and Rohit. I have been clarifying for two years. I am tired now,” Kohli said. “I miss Rohit Sharma’s abilities a lot during the Test series against South Africa,” he added.

Kohli said he has been honest to his responsibilities, when asked about his stint as India’s limited-overs captain. He said the chief selector told him he won’t be ODI captain after discussion on the Test team. Kohli’s statement comes a day after former Indian skipper Mohammad Azharuddin had tweeted about the alleged rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

“Virat Kohli has informed that he’s not available for the ODI series and Rohit Sharma is unavailable for the upcoming test. There is no harm in taking a break but the timing has to be better. This just substantiates speculation about the rift. Neither will be giving up the other form of cricket,” Azharuddin had tweeted.
