Norwegian journalist in heated MEA exchange says Instagram, Facebook suddenly suspended: What’s happening?
"Rohit I have always said that he's got more than anyone else on the ball and that's his special ability he had from day one. When I saw him the first time I understood what the hype was all about and why he was rated so highly and what he's done for India in white-ball cricket over the long period of time we all knew," said Kohli.
As for the WTC Final, Rohit had scored a century last time India played at the Oval in England and Kohli hoped for the same this time around as well.
"As I said he's performed really well in these conditions and las time around got a hundred in the oval hopefully he can repeat the same in this final as well," concluded Kohli.
