T20 rankings can't be considered, haven't fielded strongest XI: Virat Kohli

By Saurabh Sharma December 05, 2019 • 15:37 PM View: 912

Hyderabad, Dec 5: India skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday defended the team's number five position in the T20I rankings, saying that the Men in Blue haven't fielded their strongest XI in the recent times and therefore their low position in the ICC table cannot be considered.

With next year's World T20 in sight, India are giving chances to youngsters in order to build a strong pool of players from which they can eventually select the final squad for the prestigious tournament. The team has also been focusing on defending totals, an area where they haven't been able to perform that well in the shortest format of the game.
