He revealed what impact Virat Kohli can make in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be played in West Indies and United States of America (USA) this June. Let us tell you that Kohli made a comeback to India’s T20I team during the second match against Afghanistan at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. He last played in the shortest format of the game in the T20 World Cup in 2022. During the Indore T20I, Kohli scored 29 runs in 16 balls at a strike rate of 181.25, which included five fours. The most interesting thing about that is that, Aakash Chopra believed that the former India captain would be a big threat to the opposing teams in the marquee event. The 46-year-old also mentioned Kohli’s career strike rate which is around 138. Chopra also believes that Kohli can change gears whenever needed and play as per the match situation. Aakash Chopra is praising Virat Kohli a lot Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that Kohli has all types of gear. He can play fast or slow. He can also play run-a-ball. Kohli is at his best when he lasts for a long period of time. You are afraid of going to the forest because there is a lion there. It is not inevitable that a lion will eat you whenever you enter the forest, but the knowledge of the lion being there scares you. Virat Kohli is that lion. When Virat Kohli is at the crease, the opposing teams are always scared. Apart from this, Aakash Chopra believes that the matches of T-20 World Cup 2024 will not be high scoring. He further mentioned the 35-year-old’s innings against arch-rivals Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup and said that they should adopt a similar approach in the upcoming edition. He further said, “Sher needs to be present on the pitch, especially on pitches where the total will be between 160 and 180. 220 will not be the total there. So you expect Virat Kohli to stand there and accelerate later on. That innings which was called a century innings, the one in Pakistan, there also you would find that he was going a little higher than a run-a-ball. He stepped up in the end and won the match for India. If Virat becomes over-aggressive, there is a lack of consistency, which you don’t want.” Also read: DSG captain Keshav Maharaj’s special message to Indian fans
I really want to give the credit for my great performance and success to Rohit Sharma- Shikhar Dhawan
I think our best innings was the 193-run opening partnership against Australia in the 4th ODI in Mohali in 2019 – Shikhar Dhawan Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. (Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images) Experienced cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has been out of Team India for a long time. At present, Shubman Gill is considered ahead of him in white ball cricket. Along with Rohit Sharma, the pair formed one of the most dangerous opening partnerships in ODI cricket and together they have broken many records in the past. The pair of Dhawan and Rohit are the fourth pair in ODI history to cross the 5000-run mark as openers. Earlier, this feat was achieved in ODI cricket by the pair of Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly, Adam Gilchrist-Matthew Hayden and Gordon Greenidge-Desmond Haynes. Speaking about their friendship, the left-handed batsman credited Rohit for his success in international cricket. He said that their partnership gave Team India the foundation to chase bigger targets in the past. Shikhar Dhawan praised Rohit Sharma fiercely While talking to Times of India, Shikhar Dhawan said, ‘I have got a lot of support in opening the innings with Rohit Sharma. When you get better support, the team definitely gets a good start. With this you can easily chase the runs or make a big score. I really want to give the credit for my great performance and success to Rohit Sharma.” He further said, “Rohit at the other end gives a sense of comfort and assurance. I think our best innings was a 193-run partnership against Australia in the fourth ODI in Mohali in 2019 and the second best innings would be against Pakistan in the 2018 Asia Cup in Dubai where we had a partnership of 210 runs for the first wicket.” Dhawan now plays only in the Indian Premier League and has performed well for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the last few editions. Despite this, he is not able to make a comeback in Team India. India’s doors may be closed for him as priority will be given to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill but if they perform well with the bat in the upcoming IPL, then things may be different in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that in the last edition of IPL, it was ranked eighth. They will be aiming to improve in IPL 2024 and with that aim, the franchise had bought some other players in the auction including Harshal Patel, Riley Rousseau and Chris Woakes.

My aim is to win Ranji Trophy and play 100 test matches- Ajinkya Rahane “I want to perform well for Mumbai, one match at a time,” Ajinkya Rahane was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times. My aim is to win the Ranji Trophy and the bigger aim is to play 100 Test matches.” Talking about the qualities required to be successful in international cricket, Rahane said that the mindset has to be right. He said that every cricketer has more or less the same qualities but the team management focuses on good mentality. He further explained that how a cricketer deals with failure also matters in international cricket. Rahane further said, “It is all about mentality. Your game doesn’t change suddenly. Ultimately, the batsman has to see the ball and play. But it’s about the mindset when you’re there… what you’re thinking… that’s different for each person. How you prepare, what process you follow… all these little things matter. You can’t just think about batting and bowling. Your mindset must be right at the international level. How mentally strong you are is also important. How you handle momentum is how you handle failure. All these things matter.” Also read: IND vs AFG, 2nd T20I: This team will win in the explosive match between India and Afghanistan!

Was started. Before the match started, Rohit Sharma had told that Jaiswal was not playing due to back pain. Now with the arrival of Kohli, there are many options for the opening pair. Meanwhile, with Kohli preparing to return to the playing eleven, former cricketer Parthiv Patel has backed Virat to open the innings with captain Rohit.

Whenever he has played as an opening batsman for India in T20 cricket, he has scored a lot of runs. He can decide the direction of the innings. If he gets a chance to face 120 balls, he can score a big score. Whereas former Indian cricketer Saba Karim wants Kohli to bat at number-3. He said, I am seeing Virat at number-3, keeping in mind that the upcoming T20 World Cup is to be played in West Indies and USA. India will play on a slow wicket in the Super-8 in West Indies. There you need someone who can control the entire innings. I think Rohit Sharma is supporting Virat Kohli for that role. read this also- BBL 2024: Perth Scorchers included this powerful batsman in the squad at the end of the season
