Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma are not robots: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen said on Tuesday that veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are in poor form, deserve a lot of sympathy because they are not ‘robots’ and no one should forget the kind of happiness they have given us in their good days. Both Kohli and Rohit are struggling with bad form. After India’s 1-3 defeat in the Test series against Australia, the demand for retirement from both has intensified.

Highlights

  • Critics are after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are going through a bad tour
  • Many cricket experts have even said that if you are not able to do it, then retire
  • Now a veteran cricketer from England has supported them saying that they are not machines

Pietersen said, ‘This is unfair. How can you say to a player who has scored so many runs that he should retire? Yes, this can be discussed but I think they deserve more respect than this.’ Pietersen’s relationship with the British media was also full of ups and downs and he knows how both the stars must be feeling.

He said, ‘I had exactly the same challenges in my career, it happens. Rohit and Virat are not robots. It is not possible that they score centuries continuously. Has the bad tour of Australia made them bad players? No, not at all.’ On this occasion, Pietersen welcomed the investment made by the Indian Premier League (IPL) team owners in England’s domestic cricket and called it ‘wonderful for England and world cricket’.

After Mumbai Indians bought a 49 percent stake in Oval Invincibles in ‘The Hundred’ competition, Lucknow Super Giants bought the same stake in the Manchester Originals franchise. Lucknow Super Giants will operate this franchise with Lancashire. Pietersen said on the sidelines of an event here, “India is in a way running cricket around the world. If you don’t think so, then you are stupid. India runs the world of cricket and anyone who is arguing against it is clearly confused.”

He said, “If you have to see what India is doing for global cricket, then the amount of money that has been poured into England’s cricket in the last few weeks is amazing for world cricket.” He said, “I don’t think the ECB would have ever imagined that they would be able to get such numbers (money) from just one team.”
