India skipper Virat Kohli has been heavily criticised for his poor form with the bat in the Test series against New Zealand which the visitors ultimately lost 2-0. When asked to opine on Virat Kohli's poor run with the bat, MSK Prasad defended skipper Virat Kohli by saying that Virat is also a human and even he can have one odd series.
"We are talking about a legend who has been a run-machine for many years. He is also a human and he can have one odd series where he doesn't perform. One series should not go against him, he has been a phenomenal player," Prasad said.
