Talking to the reporters at the pre-series press conference, Kohli brought clarity to the issue of too many youngsters being tried by the Indian team in this format. He explained that posting the strongest XI every time wouldn’t make them the best and there needed to be a balance of giving opportunities and testing the youngsters before exposing them against the world’s best on Australian pitches next year. He said:
Speaking on the talent available for him in the spin-bowling department, Kohli expressed his excitement on having writs spinners at his disposal on the big grounds of Australia next year and how they can be his major wicket-taking options. He stated:
Kohli praised the improvement shown by all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja over the past two years and tagged him as one of the most flexible players for India across all three formats. He said:
India play three T20Is and three ODIs against West Indies between December 6 and December 22.
