Virat Kohli is open to the idea of discussing Sri Lanka’s transitional issues with its coach Nic Pothas, but will only do it once he is done with the ongoing limited overs series.
Kohli was asked about Pothas’s comment that his team would interact with the Indian team management to overcome the transition period difficulties it was facing currently.
“We haven’t had any discussions yet. Those things may happen after the competitive zone is over and done with the series. I think that will happen after September 6 if it has to happen from their end,” Kohli said at the pre-match press conference here on Wednesday.
Kohli spoke about how India managed the transition phase after many of its own greats retired.
“... It is difficult for any team going through transition.
“One thing that we decided to do as a team was take more responsibility and ownership of what we do on the field when playing for the country. We just needed to change our mindset.”
