India and England are all set to take on each other in the five-match T20I cricket. Ahead of the game, Virat Kohli went on to address the press and one of these journalists happened to ask him about the return of Ravichandran Ashwin in the national side, particularly in the shorter format. The Indian cricket captain sounded a bit irritated with the same and slammed the journalist and said that he needs to have some logic in the question. In the same presser, Kohli also mentioned the team was glad to have Bhuvneshwar Kumar back into the squad.

Talking about the statement about Ashwin, Virat explain that the team already has Washington Sundar on the side and the team cannot have two similar players. "Washington Sundar has been doing really well for us, and it is difficult to have two players similar. Unless Washi has a horrible season (not possible)…. you need to have some logic in the question as well. Easy to ask,” Virat Kohli said in the pre-match presser.
Now, let's have a look at the video where Virat Kohli was seen talking about Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
