While talking to the press after the 3rd T20I in Nottingham, Rohit Sharma stated that the team doesn’t listen to the outside noise. He said he don’t care who the experts are talking about Kohli’s form, but added that he doesn’t who why are they called experts when they don’t know what’s going on inside.
“I don’t know who the experts are. I don’t even understand why they are called experts. They are watching it from the outside, they don’t know what is going on inside,” said Rohit.
He added that they are building a team and there is a lot of thought process behind that. He further added that form doesn’t matter, the quality of the player matters. “If you talk of form, it goes up and down for everyone. The quality of a player never goes down and we should remember that,” he added.
