Forget Virat Kohli… Sanjay Manjrekar rubbed salt on fans’ wounds, know what he said?
The whole country is worried about this form of Virat Kohli, but Sanjay Manjrekar has given such a statement which has created controversy. Virat Kohli Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After thrashing the bowlers in IPL 2024, Virat Kohli came in great form in the T20 World Cup 2024. The T20 World Cup 2024 has been nothing less than a nightmare for Kohli so far. You can guess Virat’s poor form from the fact that he has been out on a duck twice in this World Cup. He has scored only 66 runs in six innings of the World Cup 2024 at an average of 11.00 and a strike rate of 100.00. Kohli’s highest score is 37 runs in 28 balls, which he made in the Super-8 match against Bangladesh. I am not worried even if Virat Kohli is in bad form: Sanjay Manjrekar The whole country is worried about Virat Kohli’s form, but Sanjay Manjrekar has given such a statement that has created controversy. Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he is not bothered by Virat Kohli’s poor form. He believes that in every match new players are emerging as heroes, so Kohli should be forgotten. Along with this, he has also given a statement about Rohit Sharma’s explosive innings and Shivam Dubey’s batting. Manjrekar is very impressed with Shivam Dubey’s innings of 28 runs against Australia. Let’s read his full statement- “As long as India are getting different heroes, I am not worried about Kohli’s form. Today against Australia, Rohit Sharma got it. I also liked that Shivam Dube is also doing well. I know his innings got a bit weak towards the end, but I liked the fact that he was trying to play with a light hand against Josh Hazlewood. So, I see growth in all the other players and that is what you want in a team.”
