During the upcoming South Africa tour, the Indian cricketing fraternity was desperate to know Virat Kohli's status in the One-Day International (ODI) series. After being dropped as the ODI skipper and being replaced by Rohit Sharma, reports started to do rounds that he would be skipping the ODIs. Meanwhile, he addressed the media for the first time since the incident to clear the air.
ODI captaincy
He also spoke about him being dropped from the ODI captaincy. He recalled that it was one and a half hours ago on that day when he had a discussion with the national selectors. He revealed that meetings were held between the two regarding it, and Kohli readily agreed to it. He never had any issues with Rohit being handed the captaincy duties.
Relationship with Rohit
On being asked about his relationship with Rohit, he said, "I have said this before as well. There are no relationship issues between Rohit and me. I have been clarifying the same thing for the past couple of years. It's about time people stop speculating about this, as I am getting tired of it."
