He revealed what impact Virat Kohli can make in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be played in West Indies and United States of America (USA) this June. Let us tell you that Kohli made a comeback to India’s T20I team during the second match against Afghanistan at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. He last played in the shortest format of the game in the T20 World Cup in 2022. During the Indore T20I, Kohli scored 29 runs in 16 balls at a strike rate of 181.25, which included five fours. The most interesting thing about that is that, Aakash Chopra believed that the former India captain would be a big threat to the opposing teams in the marquee event. The 46-year-old also mentioned Kohli’s career strike rate which is around 138. Chopra also believes that Kohli can change gears whenever needed and play as per the match situation. Aakash Chopra is praising Virat Kohli a lot Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that Kohli has all types of gear. He can play fast or slow. He can also play run-a-ball. Kohli is at his best when he lasts for a long period of time. You are afraid of going to the forest because there is a lion there. It is not inevitable that a lion will eat you whenever you enter the forest, but the knowledge of the lion being there scares you. Virat Kohli is that lion. When Virat Kohli is at the crease, the opposing teams are always scared. Apart from this, Aakash Chopra believes that the matches of T-20 World Cup 2024 will not be high scoring. He further mentioned the 35-year-old’s innings against arch-rivals Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup and said that they should adopt a similar approach in the upcoming edition. He further said, “Sher needs to be present on the pitch, especially on pitches where the total will be between 160 and 180. 220 will not be the total there. So you expect Virat Kohli to stand there and accelerate later on. That innings which was called a century innings, the one in Pakistan, there also you would find that he was going a little higher than a run-a-ball. He stepped up in the end and won the match for India. If Virat becomes over-aggressive, there is a lack of consistency, which you don’t want.” Also read: DSG captain Keshav Maharaj’s special message to Indian fans
