Kevin Pietersen comes out in support of Virat Kohli after the India star pulls out from the first two IND vs ENG Tests
It came as a major setback for the Indian team after Virat Kohli withdrew from the first two Tests of the upcoming 5-Test series against England at home, citing personal reasons.
Pietersen, who is Virat Kohli’s former RCB teammate and a huge admirer of the India star, lent his support to the 35-year-old. The 43-year-old commentator asked the fans to respect Kohli’s decision.
Kevin Pietersen tweeted, “If a sportsman pulls out for personal reasons, RESPECT IT!
End of!”
The BCCI has named 30-year-old Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar as the replacement for Kohli for the first two Test matches, which will be played in Hyderabad and Vizag.
