Indian skipper Virat Kohli has said that the Indian team discussed the farmers’ protest issue in the team meeting. The farmers’ issue and Indian cricket got connected as all the major Indian cricketers tweeted a similar tweet with the hashtag #IndiaTogether.
"Any issue which is present in the country, we do talk about it & everyone has expressed what they had to say about the issue. We briefly spoke about it in the team meeting and then we carried on discussing the team's plans," Kohli said that in the pre-match press conference in Chennai.
Indian cricketers, both former and current including former greats like Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble too tweeted with the same hashtag and it was supposed to be an answer to the Rihanna and Greta Thornberg tweets supporting the farmers’ strike going on in Delhi.
"Let us all stay united in this hour of disagreements. Farmers are an integral part of our country and I'm sure an amicable solution will be found between all parties to bring about peace and move forward together," Kohli had tweeted on Wednesday, 04th February.
Kohli, 32, also talked about his love for the game saying that the hunger to play for India and win games while playing would not go until and unless he retires.
"I can never lose my love for cricket and I was always connected to my team even when away. I will continue to enjoy my cricket and taking Indian cricket forward and that is how it will be till the day I retire,” said Kohli.
