Batsman Rahul and all-rounder Pandya have been heavily criticised in India and on social media for comments made on a television show earlier this week. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have asked the pair to explain the comments and Pandya has apologised. "From the Indian cricket team point of view, any inappropriate comments that are made in that scenario are something that we definitely don't support," Kohli told reporters on Friday ahead of the first one-dayer against Australia. "These are purely individual opinions ... we definitely, as the Indian cricket team, do not support views like that and that has been communicated." "From the combination and team balance point of view, yes, you'll have to think about the combination you'll need now," Kohli said.
