The performance of the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has been very good and they have confirmed their place in the Super 8. Even though the Indian team has performed very well in the group stage, Virat Kohli has not yet left his mark in this tournament.

Let us tell you, Virat Kohli has scored only five runs in three innings so far. Not only this, Virat Kohli was out on the first ball against America without even opening his account. The most surprising thing is that the experienced batsman has not yet reached a double digit score in this tournament. However, before the match against Afghanistan, former Australian batsman Matthew Hayden has made a big statement about Virat Kohli. According to Matthew Hayden, Virat Kohli will now tell why the Indian selectors have done the right thing by giving him the responsibility of batting as an opener in this tournament.

Matthew Hayden said, ‘We had a lot of discussions about this during the Indian Premier League 2024. During the IPL, we also gave a statement that he is doing a very good job as an opener. In the World Cup, you want a batsman like Virat Kohli to open.

Talking about the Barbados wicket, they will enjoy batting here. At this time it is very important that Virat Kohli thinks of reaching the 30-run mark. David Warner and Travis Head batted very well against England in Barbados and now Virat Kohli can also be seen doing the same.

The best thing about the Indian team is that all their bowlers are in very good form at the moment. They have bowled very well in this tournament so far. Even though Virat Kohli has not been seen batting explosively yet, the rest of the batsmen of the team have played their role very well.

Rishabh Pant’s form has been excellent in this tournament while Suryakumar Yadav has also returned to his rhythm now. Indian team captain Rohit Sharma would also like to leave his mark in the upcoming matches.
