Virat Kohli’s poor start in T20 World Cup 2024, is this a matter of concern for India? Know what the experts say
Virat Kohli has scored just 5 runs in three matches so far Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian management’s decision to open the innings with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup 2024 has not proved right so far. The team management has kept specialist opener Yashasvi Jaiswal out of the playing XI to make Virat-Rohit open. However, Kohli has not been able to perform well while opening so far. He has scored just 5 runs in three matches. He was dismissed after scoring 1 run against Ireland. While he returned to the pavilion without scoring 4 runs against Pakistan and against America. Earlier, Kohli had scored a flurry of runs in IPL 2024. He was the highest run-scorer (741) in the tournament. But his bat has been silent in the T20 World Cup. He got out on a duck for the first time in an ICC event against America off Saurabh Netravalkar’s bowling. It would be fair to say that Kohli did not give much time to adjust to the difficult pitch of New York and hence he got out early on three occasions. There is nothing to worry about- Sunil Gavaskar Now many legends and cricket experts have come forward in support of Virat Kohli. Supporting Kohli, Australian batsman Steve Smith said on Star Sports, “It has been tough for batsmen, especially those batting in the upper order, against the new ball. I will not say much about it. We know that Virat is a superstar. I am sure he will score runs in the upcoming matches.” On the other hand, Sunil Gavaskar supported Kohli and said, well, when you are playing for the country, there is no bigger motivation than this. He has performed well for India in the last few years. He has won many matches for India. This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go in the tournament. There is Super-8, then the semi-finals and hopefully the finals as well. He said that he knows that he just has to show a little patience and have a little faith in himself. There is nothing to worry about. He will recover sooner or later. He has to show faith in himself and he has enough of it.
“I think he will do well in red-ball cricket just like Bumrah” Gavaskar gave this statement about which bowler
Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) India’s fast bowler Arshdeep Singh won the Player of the Match award against USA in the T20 World Cup 2024. Playing the third match of the tournament, Arshdeep led the pace attack along with Bumrah. Arshdeep took 4 wickets for 9 runs against Ireland on Wednesday, June 12. After seeing his performance, former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar has praised Arshdeep. Sunil Gavaskar has made a special demand to the BCCI regarding Arshdeep Singh, who was the hero of India’s victory against America. He has talked about giving the fast bowler a chance in red ball cricket. Speaking on Star Sports after USA vs India, Gavaskar said that Arshdeep’s ability to swing the ball both ways was like Jasprit Bumrah. Sunil Gavaskar praised Arshdeep Singh Speaking on Star Sports after the match against USA on Wednesday, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Arshdeep pitches the ball at the right length, targets the stumps for right-handers and away from left-handers. He has the ability to bowl the right length for both right-handed and left-handed batsmen. Against the USA, Arshdeep was not focusing on bowling yorkers but on maintaining the length of that ball. His bowling temperament is fantastic.” During this, Gavaskar compared the fast bowler to Jasprit Bumrah. He said that like Bumrah, Arshdeep can also perform lethally in red ball cricket. The former batsman said, “I think he has the same ability as Bumrah, he will perform well in red-ball cricket. If he can swing the white ball effectively, he can be equally effective with the red ball. The selectors should seriously consider him as an option for the Test team.”
