Who is saying all this? These rumor-mongers, don't they have any other job? What is the basis for all this chatter? If India have to win the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli is a must in the squad," Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel as quoted by News18.
Kohli has been out of action since the conclusion of T20I series against Afghanistan. He also missed the recently-concluded five-match Test series against England, citing personal reasons.
