New Delhi. In the last few days, there has been talk everywhere about the star batsman of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting also took a dig at the poor form of this legend. Indian team coach Gautam Gambhir has given a befitting reply to him. Ponting had given a statement by taking a dig at Kohli’s two Test centuries in 5 years. The coach of Team India said that he does not need to poke his nose in Indian cricket, focus on his country’s team.

India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has defended captain Rohit Sharma and star batsman Virat Kohli, who are under pressure due to their recent poor performance. Said on Monday that both these senior players are hungry to score runs and will make a strong comeback in Australia. Gambhir also rejected the suggestions that the Indian team is under pressure after losing all three Test matches in the home series against New Zealand.

Responding to the former Australian captain, Gambhir said, “What does Ponting have to do with Indian cricket? They should think about Australian cricket. I am not at all worried about the form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The hunger seen inside the dressing room is important for me and I feel that both the players still have a lot of hunger. We have many experienced players who have played in Australian conditions.
