Kohli evades talking about Ishant, future

Published on: 

Virat Kohli has come under fire from some sections for his aggression rubbing off on other players. Most recently on Ishant Sharma during the Sri lanka tour that saw him getting a ban for the first Test against South Africa in Mohali.  But Kohli refused to be comment on his approach.

Indian pace spearhead Ishant Sharma was handed a one-Test suspension for the aggressive sendoffs he gave to Sri lankan batsmen during the recent away series.

Asked how much Ishant's absence will hurt India against South Africa, a curt Kohli replied, "I am not answering that question. Not what happened earlier, nor what is going to happen next, neither on captaincy nor on the coach."

When someone asked if he has evolved as a player to take over as captain in all formats, Kohli retorted, "Nice try but again it is about my captaincy."

Asked if he would play a game against Bangladesh to get into limited overs mould, Virat said that they have already been playing a lot of cricket.
