He’ll be very happy with how we responded to that situation where he went to bat in – Rohit Sharma

Speaking after the match, Rohit defended Kohli and said that the former India captain’s approach in the third T20I was perfect.

“The T20Is that I’ve seen, especially when you’re chasing a score like that and you come out and bat the way he did it, it shows the quality of a batsman,” Rohit was quoted as saying by India Today.

Rohit added that Kohli “pretty much did everything right” in the match, but was unable to get to a big score.

“Honestly, we were three down and we wanted to dig in, get that partnership going and bat as long as possible. He pretty much did everything right today. Just slightly disappointed that it couldn’t be right till the end, but nothing taking away from that kind of knock.

“You don’t get to see that every now and then. So, we will take that with both hands as a team and I’m pretty sure about him as well. He’ll be very happy with how we responded to that situation where he went to bat in,” he added.
