Kohli supports Dhoni over his allegations

Thiruvananthapuram, November 08: India captain Virat Kohli has spoken out in support of MS Dhoni, pointing to his importance in the team and emphasizing on Dhoni's fitness despite his age.

"I don't understand why people are pointing him out. If I fail as a batsman three times, no one is going to point fingers at me because I am not over 35. The guy is fit, he is passing all the tests. He is contributing to the team in every tactical way on the field. With the bat, he did really well against Sri Lanka and Australia," said Kohli.



"In this series, he didn't get much time to bat. You have to understand that the position he comes in to bat, even Hardik Pandya could not score in that game so why are we pointing out one man. Hardik as well got out in the last T20 in Rajkot. You are conveniently targeting one man which is not fair."
