Virat Kohli’s Struggle Continues at the T20 World Cup
Virat Kohli, known for his impeccable batting skills, has been facing a tough time at the T20 World Cup. In a semi-final match against England, Kohli could only manage to score nine runs before getting out early. This marked his fifth single-digit score in the tournament, with a total of just 75 runs in seven innings at an average of 10.71.
Former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif commented on Kohli’s performance, stating that he seemed to deviate from his usual plan on a challenging pitch where scoring runs was not easy. Despite Kohli’s early departure, his opening partner and captain Rohit Sharma continued his impressive form with a quick 57 runs off 39 balls, aiding India in posting a solid total of 171 for 7.
The match against England saw India dominating the game, with England folding for 103 runs. India secured a convincing win by 68 runs, setting up a showdown with South Africa in the final at Kensington Oval in Barbados.
Rohit Sharma’s resilience in adverse conditions drew praise from Latif, highlighting the challenges faced by players due to rain interruptions and pitch conditions. Despite the obstacles, India emerged victorious, showcasing their strength and determination in the crucial knockout clash.
