Former South African captain AB de Villiers lambasted the critics of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, comparing them to cockroaches. He failed to understand why people start doubting the abilities of legendary cricketers when they near the twilight of their careers.
Kohli and Rohit returned to international cricket after seven months during the recent three-match series against Australia. The Delhi batter failed to get off the mark in the first two ODIs but slammed an unbeaten 74 off 81 balls in the third. On the other hand, Rohit won the Player of the Series award after scoring a fifty in the second ODI and a century in the third.
De Villiers noted that Rohit and Kohli have taken a lot of criticism in recent times. However, he feels that the critics are in the minority. The cricketer-turned-expert urged everyone to celebrate the careers of the two former Indian captains instead of finding their flaws.
