Pant can't be isolated, here to support him: Kohli

Virat Kohli came out in support of young wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, stating that he needs to be backed and should be given proper space.

Talking to the media ahead of the 1st T20I against West Indies in Hyderabad on Friday, Kohli concurred with Rohit Sharma, who had earlier spoken about how Pant should be left alone and there is too much scrutiny over the wicketkeeper batsman.

“As Rohit (Sharma) said recently, he needs to be left alone, he is a match-winner. Once he comes good, you will see a very different version of him. He can’t be isolated to such an extent that he doesn’t do well. We are here to do things for him,” he added.
