Indian skipper Virat Kohli shed light on why the Indian cricket team took the knee before the game against Pakistan in the ICC Men`s T20 World Cup.
The Indian players took the knee in solidarity with the BLM (Black Lives Matter) movement. On the other hand, Pakistan stood with their hands on their hearts. "That was communicated to us by the management, the Pakistan team agreed to pay their tribute to the same cause. We accepted our side of things and that was how it was decided," said Kohli while replying to an ANI query during a virtual post-match press conference.
