Virat Kohli: In the T20 World Cup 2024, the pair of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are handling the responsibility of opening for Team India. But this pair has not performed well in the matches played so far. Especially Virat's performance has not been good in the matches played so far. He has scored 5 runs in all three matches. In such a situation, there is a lot of concern about his poor form. But the former player has supported Kohli, as well as suggested Baldav in his batting position. Let us tell you what he said?

The veteran suggested a change in Virat Kohli's batting position

  • Former player Mohammad Kaif believes that Virat Kohli should bat at number 3 instead of opening,
  • While Rishabh Pant should open.
    If this happens then Kohli will benefit.

“Playing at number three would be appropriate” - Mohammad Kaif

Commenting on Virat's form and his place in the team, former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif said,

"Virat Kohli can be dangerous not only for Pakistan but for all teams. Any team is trying to get Virat out first. I think Virat should reduce his aggression. He should play a little more patiently.

It will be appropriate for Virat to play at number three on the pitch. If Virat plays at number three, he can fight till the end."

According to Kaif, Pant should open with Rohit

Emphasizing on giving Rishabh Pant a chance as an opener, Mohammad Kaif said,

“If Rishabh Pant can come from number five to number three, then he can also open from number three. You will get a left-right combination, in which Kohli (Virat Kohli) At number three and Suryakumar Yadav at number four. Kohli's troubles were clearly visible in India's Group A match against the USA, where India-born USA bowler Saurabh Netravalkar dismissed Kohli for a golden duck.

Virat Kohli fell prey to a duck

  • Chasing the target of 111 runs given by America, the first over was bowled by Indian origin Saurabh Netravalkar and on the first ball of the over, Rohit Sharma scored 1 run and gave the strike to Virat Kohli.
  • Kohli's bat hit the second ball and the ball went straight to Andries Gauss and Virat took his wicket.

  • Although India won the match, Kohli's wicket became a topic of discussion.
