"That's your opinion, thank you very much," that was Virat Kohli's retort when questions were raised on Ravi Shastri's "best Indian team" claim after the crushing Test series loss to England.
India were beaten 1-4 in the five-match series that concluded here Tuesday.
The result, one of the several overseas disappointments for the team, led to some uncomfortable queries on whether Kohli believed Shastri's assertion that this was the best touring Indian side in the last 15 years.
"We have to believe that, why not? What do you think?" said Kohli to the questioning scribe, whose query was whether a tag like that put his side under pressure.
In response to an "I am not sure" from the journalist, Kohli retorted, "That's your opinion. Thank you very much."
