I tried to reset WSL, download using cmd but it doesn't work with Ubuntu. I don't know why. Even though I have downloaded python3, virtualenv, and pip using cmd. It doesn't work with Ubuntu 18.04. It also fails on Ubuntu 14.04.

Answer
ls /bin/python*
Identify the highest version of python listed.
If the highest version is something like python2.7 then install python2-pip
If its something like python3.8 then install python3-pip
Example for python3.8:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
