Indian pacer Mohammed Shami has gone on to defend Kohli. Shami has claimed that Kohli has always performed for Team India or Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Shami, currently recovering from his injury has claimed that it is unwise to put the entire RCB’s burden on Kohli’s shoulder. The Indian pacer claimed that the rest of the RCB batters need to step up.
“Kohli has always performed, whether for the Indian team or RCB. But how can RCB put the entire burden on Kohli’s shoulders? The rest of the batters need to step up,” Mohammed Shami told Cricbuzz.
