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.

‘There is no place in your team’ Pakistani fans trolling Babar Azam during the second T20 match against Australia

Azam has scored 666 runs in 21 T20I matches played in the year 2024. Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) In the second T20 match against Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground, some Pakistani fans were seen trolling experienced batsman Babar Azam fiercely. The video trolling Azam is going viral very fast on social media. It is noteworthy that in the 21 T20 International matches played in the year 2024, the 30-year-old player has scored a total of 666 runs at a strike rate of 132.66. Under the captaincy of Babar, Pakistan had to be eliminated from the league stage in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. So now cricket fans have been seen venting their anger on Babar. In the second T20 match against Australia, some fans sitting in the stands were seen trolling Babar fiercely and saying, ‘You don’t get a place in the T20 team.’ Watch this video viral on social media Pakistan fans disrespecting Babar Azam in Sydney. “Teri jagah nahin banti mein T20 team” 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 This is not acceptable at all. He’s our former captain and he’s our pride. Sharam everyone. Stay strong, @babarazam258 — Farid Khan (@_FaridKhan) November 17, 2024 Also, let us tell you that former captain Babar Azam was also dropped from Pakistan’s Test team earlier this year. After a poor performance in the first Test match against England, the team management decided to drop Babar. In place of Babar, Kamran Ghulam was included in the team, who confirmed his place in the Test team by scoring a century in his debut match. This is not a good sign for Babar Azam in red ball cricket. On the other hand, apart from Test, Babar’s bat is not working in T20 also. Babar has been able to score only 6 runs in the two T20 matches played against Australia. So in the ODI series that ended before the T20 series, Babar’s performance was 37, 15* and 28* runs. Apart from this, Babar has also not been included in the Pakistani team for the upcoming white series against Zimbabwe. Now that the Champions Trophy 2025 is very close, and Babar not being able to perform for the Pakistani team in the white ball format, it may become a headache for the PCB in the future.
