"As a player, you would feel the pressure from fans and fans have a job, that you can make it easier for your players or you can make it harder. If you do not want Virat Kohli in your team anymore, by all means keep on heaping the pressure or if you value the asset, then go easy on him.â
India will now play a three-match ODI series against England and Kohliâs performance in the tournament might decide his future in the shortest format according to several media reports.Â
