Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024 title by defeating South Africa in Barbados. Virat Kohli batted brilliantly in the final and scored 76 runs in 59 balls. He was adjudged the Player of the Match for his innings. However, before the final, he was seen struggling with the bat throughout the tournament.

Before the final, Kohli had scored only 75 runs at an average of 10.71, but when the team needed him against South Africa, Kohli gave his best performance. Meanwhile, now Kohli has revealed that he was not confident about performing in the final of the T20 World Cup.

Know what Dravid said to Kohli?

“I will always remember this day because I was not able to contribute the way I wanted to during the entire tournament. I also told Rahul bhai that I have not done justice to myself and the team till now,” Kohli said while meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday morning.

Virat further said, “Then he told me that when the situation comes, I am sure you will come into form. So this conversation happened between us and when we went to play, I told Rohit, I was not so confident that I would be able to bat the way I wanted to. So when we went to play, I got three fours in the first 4 balls, then I went and told him, what kind of game is this? One day it seems that not a single run will be scored and then a day comes and everything starts happening.”

The former Indian captain said, “When we lost wickets, I surrendered myself to the situation and focused on what the team needed from me. I was kept in that zone, but I felt tied up in that moment. Later, I realised that what has to happen will happen.”

Let us tell you that after India became the T20 World Cup champion, Virat Kohli said goodbye to T20I international and talked about giving a chance to the next generation.

IND vs NZ: Dinesh Karthik spoke big about Gautam Gambhir’s strategy in the Bengaluru Test, know what he said?

In this test match, India’s first innings was reduced to just 46 runs. Dinesh Karthik and Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter In the absence of Shubman Gill, India had to make some changes in its batting order in the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the match, it was decided to send experienced batsman Virat Kohli at number 3 and Sarfaraz Khan, who replaced Gill, at number 4. However, this strategy of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir could not show anything special. Kohli was out without scoring any runs in 9 balls in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test match. On the other hand, former wicketkeeper batsman and Dinesh Karthik, who played with Kohli in RCB, has given a big statement regarding this decision of the Indian management. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz – I am not defending Virat Kohli, he has the temperament and technique like some of the great batsmen who have played so far. If I make any changes it is because I am confident that that player will perform well there, not because I want to save Virat Kohli. He plays at number 4 in Tests. He opens 3 times in every ODI and T20 match. Now you can say the ball is different, it is not rotating as much, 100 per cent, where is the best position for Virat Kohli in Test cricket, he is just number four. Virat Kohli is also commendable. He could have easily said, no, let me bat at number four, because you can keep KL Rahul or Sarfaraz Khan at number three. The coach would have said, OK, I will manage that conversation. The fact that he went to bat at number 3 shows his (serious) mindset.
