The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and England is to be played on 23 March. One day before the match, Team India captain Virat Kohli started singing a song during the press conference. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared its video with its official Twitter handle. When Virat was asked about KL Rahul’s form, at the virtual press conference ahead of the game, he said that people like to always focus on criticism.
“I can only think about one thing when people talk about a player is out of form. Kuch toh log kahenge logon ka kaam hain kehna, chodo bekaar ki baaton mein kahi beet na jaaye raina (quoting a Hindi song),”
“There is a lot of impatience outside the cricket setup. People love listening to criticism and it has only increased,” he added.

Virat further said, “In the team, we know how to manage a player going through a tough patch. It is not as if you forget playing the game, it is just that you don’t have the same mental clarity that you would usually have and then there is talk about you, which is another external factor you have to deal with.”
