In recent years, the ability to bounce back from a crushing loss has been India's in-trend thing. Take up 36 all out in Adelaide, the first Test loss to England in Chennai or innings defeat at Leeds, India have shown a penchant for bouncing back strongly. Come Sunday, that bounce-back ability will be put to a stern test when the 2007 champions face New Zealand in a crucial Group 2 match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Dubai.

Currently placed fifth in a group of six teams, India now need to win the rest of their matches starting from the one against New Zealand, which is a virtual quarterfinal match.


Ahead of the crucial match, Team India pacer Mohammed Shami took to the Koo app to post a pic from a training session, where he can be seen having chat with fellow pacer Jasprit Bumrah.


Shami captioned the pic with few hashtags which read, “#BounceBackBoys #IndiaJeetega #ShorMachaoCupLao #SabseBadaStadium #IndVsNZ #T20WorldCUp”.



In a strong statement, Kohli said, "To me attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing a human being can do. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion but I personally have never even thought of discriminating someone over their religion."


"They have no understanding of the fact that Mohammed Shami has won India a number of matches...If people can overlook that and his passion for the country, I honestly don't want to waste even 1 min of my life on them. We stand by him 200%. Our brotherhood cannot be shaken," added Kohli.
