At the post-match conference after India’s defeat in the 5th and final Test against England at The Oval, Virat Kohli was asked a question by a reporter that really irked him.“The Best Indian team in the last 15 years! Do these tags put pressure on you? Do you actually believe you are?” asked the reporter.

To which Kohli replied, “We have to believe we are the best side. Why not?”

“The best team in 15 years?” asked the reporter. An irritated Kohli then asked him, “What do you think”.

“I am not sure”, said the reporter. “You’re not sure? That is your opinion. Thank you,” was Kohli’s response.

Most Indians would agree to the reporter’s opinions and yet Kohli went on to behave arrogantly with him. This is not the first time Kohli has snubbed those reporters ‘daring’ to ask anything that suggests that the Indian team isn’t doing great or questions his selection policies.
