But the Indian team, which came out to chase the target, lost two big wickets at a score of just 10. Saurabh Netravalkar has tightened the screws on both the opening batsmen Virat Kohli (0) and Rohit Sharma (3).

Virat Kohli once again failed to show anything special with the bat in the tournament. Before USA, his bat was silent against Ireland and Pakistan as well. Virat Kohli has made a shameful record after getting out on a golden duck against USA.

But in the T20 World Cup 2024, he has not been able to play a single good innings while opening. In the ongoing tournament, Kohli has been able to score only 5 runs in 3 matches.

Finn praised him a lot and even said that he is the best player in the world. Speaking with former England captain Alastair Cook on TNT Sports, Steven Finn said, “Jaiswal scored a brilliant 161, but he is the player I like to watch. That is Jasprit Bumrah. I think he really is the best player in the world. Honestly, sometimes I think bowling like him is a joke! You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket. Perth, I know it’s not the WACA; I know it’s a new stadium, but still, historically, Australia hasn’t lost many matches there. I thought India performed very bravely there.” Let us tell you that, Bumrah now has 118 wickets in 27 Test matches in SENA countries at an impressive average of 22.55, which also includes his career best performance (6/33).
