Virat Kohli will not play in T20 World Cup 2024, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar himself dropped him from the team!

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will be played right after IPL 2024. For this, all the teams will have to announce their squads by 30th April. In the same sequence, the Board of Control for Cricket in India will also have to finalize its team in the last week of April or the first week of May. Meanwhile, a shocking report has come out regarding the World Cup squad. If some reports are to be believed, Virat Kohli may be kept out of the squad. Talking about the reason behind this, it is being said that the wickets will be slow in West Indies and USA. His batting style on that pitch will not benefit India. However, Virat still has a chance, if he performs well in IPL 2024 then he can secure his place in the T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli may be out of T20 World Cup squad According to the report of The Telegraph, to make a place in the T20 World Cup team. Virat Kohli Will have to perform very well in IPL 2024. The selectors are reluctant to pick Kohli for the T20 World Cup, as the management believes that the experienced player has failed to meet the needs of the team in the shortest format. Kohli has not played any T20 International match since the T20 World Cup 2022. He played with Rohit Sharma in the Afghanistan T20 series, but was not very successful. In one of which he was out without opening the account. That report said that BCCI has left the matter of Kohli’s selection to chief selector Ajit Agarkar. This is a very delicate matter. In such a situation, people are not willing to participate in it. Agarkar had asked Kohli to change his approach to T20I cricket, which Kohli tried to implement in the series against Afghanistan, but was not successful. The team management also believes that Kohli will not like the slow wicket of West Indies, hence Ajit Agarkar will try to give a chance to the youth in place of this experienced player. BCCI feels that young players like Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dubey can be more successful in this format than Kohli.

Even if Virat performs well, there is no guarantee whether RCB will win the trophy or not – Harbhajan Singh

Virat Kohli has been playing for RCB for the last 16 years. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India bowling legend Harbhajan Singh believes that poor batting record at Chennai Super Kings’ home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, has diminished Virat Kohli’s “greatness” in the IPL on that ground. The former captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has played a total of 12 matches at the Chepauk ground, scoring 362 runs at an average of 30.17 and a strike rate of 111.38. This is his lowest average compared to any other Indian ground where he has played at least 10 IPL matches. The last time he scored a half-century here was in 2013. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s performance “Virat’s greatness has diminished in terms of his overall performance on that field,” Harbhajan said on Star Sports. It is a difficult ground to bat on. The bounce of the ball on that ground is quite uneven due to which it is a bit difficult to bat there. They have Jadeja, a brilliant bowler who bowls stump to stump. He will turn some balls and then leave some balls low. It is really difficult.” Bhajji further said, “If he is really ready to bat around 20 overs, he can put in a match-winning performance because it is easy to score two centuries at Chinnaswamy (RCB’s home ground) but it is not guaranteed at Chepauk. “ The former spinner said that it is not that if Virat performs well then RCB will win the title this season. But they would like Kohli to perform the way he did in IPL 2016. There he scored 973 runs at an average of 81.08 with a strike rate of 152.03. The former veteran spinner said that, Harbhajan said, “It is important for him to have a season like 2016, because if Virat scores runs then the team will progress. I don’t know whether they will win the cup or not.

IPL 2024: ‘On the basis of bowling, the team can lift the trophy this season’ – Irfan Pathan’s big statement about RCB

The last season of IPL was a mixed bag for RCB, the team was able to win 7 out of 14 matches. RCB Team & Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: Getty Images, Irfan Pathan/Instagram) Irfan Pathan on RCB: IPL 2024 The first match will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings on March 22 at Chepauk. Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the most famous franchise teams in the world. RCB has reached the IPL finals thrice, but the team has not been able to win the trophy even once. Faf du Plessis has been leading the team for the last two seasons after leaving the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Last season the team had a mixed bag, RCB was able to win 7 out of 14 matches. This season the team would like to win the trophy by showing excellent performance. RCB’s batting lineup for IPL 2024 looks great, but experts are constantly giving their views regarding the bowling attack. Meanwhile, former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan believes that Royal Challengers Bangalore can win the first IPL title this season on the basis of its strong bowling attack. IPL 2024: they have express speed– Irfan Pathan Former Indian player Irfan Pathan became a part of Star Sports’ show Game Plan. During the show, Irfan Pathan while talking about the chances of RCB and Virat Kohli winning the first IPL title this year, said, ‘Now he (Virat Kohli) has got a team, as far as batting is concerned, I really feel that batting has become longer now, which was not the case some time ago. Irfan Pathan further said, ‘Many people are not giving a chance to RCB because they feel that their bowling is not the same as before. I also think the bowling could have been better, but what they did is that they have express pace on that pitch. If you can bowl 140+ consistently on flat pitches like the Chinnaswamy pitch, sometimes it can work. You might be surprised that this bowling unit can lift a trophy. This will be a very special moment for Virat Kohli because he was wanting this since 2008 but he could not touch that trophy.

Special Opinion: Won the series 4-1 but still some questions troubled me, batsmen are getting defeated in front of spinners at home.

In recent times, Team India’s batsmen have been seen struggling against the spinners. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian team won the five-match Test series against England by 4-1. By winning this Test series, the Indian team strengthened its claim for the first place in the World Test Championship. After playing the World Test Championship final twice in a row, Team India has staked its claim to play the Test Championship final this time too. The Indian team may have won this series by 4-1, but in this Test series and the Test series played at home in the last few years, one shortcoming of the Indian team has been sharply exposed. Such a deficiency has been exposed in which the Indian team once had expertise. In the last few years, the Indian team has proved to be poor in playing spin. The Indian team is now facing problems in playing spin in India itself. Whereas earlier this was the mantra of victory for the Indian team. He used to prepare spin tracks against foreign teams and defeat them. Now it has happened that when foreign teams tour India, they trouble the Indian team by including two-three good spinners. After coming here, even their average bowlers become great bowlers. Whereas in the past, Indian teams have batted brilliantly on spin-friendly pitches in domestic and subcontinental conditions. However, at present the Indian team seems to be struggling completely in facing spin. The bowling of the Indian team has been excellent in India since the beginning. Now it has become stronger while there has been a decline in the art of playing spin in batting. The Indian team which once used to trouble the opponents with its spin bowling in the 70s. At the same time, in today’s time our batsmen get troubled. In the 70s, there was the famous quartet of Eerappalli Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar, Venkat Raghavan and Bishan Singh Bedi, who used to dominate against foreign teams on Indian pitches. These people had created so much fear in the minds of the foreign batsmen that the teams touring India started practicing spin a month in advance, but still their quartet did not give the batsmen a chance to do anything special. After that, from 1980 to 2010, the Indian team had such batsmen who left their mark not only in India but also abroad. There were some batsmen who were adept at playing spin at home and were also adept at playing swing and pace if they toured abroad. During that time, many such great spinners also came to India, who left their mark in the whole world but bowed down before the Indian batsmen. Many such greats came from Shane Warne to Muttiah Muralitharan, but Indian batsmen faced those great spinners boldly and also showed the world the art of playing spin. What happened in the recent past that what was our strength has become our weakness. Indian players who have grown up playing on spin-friendly pitches are not able to face spin effectively today. Where the…
