Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli has come under criticism for not playing well in the first three matches of the T20 World Cup 2024. He played well in the IPL matches and won the Orange Cap. Kohli's contribution in the three matches played so far by the Indian team in the T20 World Cup has been 1, 4 and 0. In such a situation, former players of the Indian cricket team are insisting that Kohli should play at number 3 instead of opening as usual. Also some say that he should be dropped. Now the former player has reacted to this?

Wasim Jaffer's statement on Virat Kohli's form

  • Regarding Virat Kohli's poor form, former Team India player Wasim Jaffer believes that it is not right to criticize Kohli after watching a few matches.
  • He believes that he will perform well in the Super 8 matches.
    Along with this, he also discussed Kohli's one-sided performance against Pakistan.

It is not right to criticise Kohli- Wasim Zafar

Wasim Zafar reacted by saying,

“Everyone knows what kind of player Virat (Virat Kohli) is. So it is not right to criticize him for not playing some matches. He has won many matches for the Indian team by standing alone on the field.

I think critics should once again watch Virat Kohli's match against Pakistan in the last T20 World Cup held in Australia. In that match, when the Indian team was on the verge of defeat, it was he who gave the Indian team victory by hitting a six in Harris's over, when no one expected it.”

Kohli is expected to perform well in Super 8

Wasim has predicted that Kohli (Virat Kohli) will perform well in Super 8. He said,

“Kohli will give the right performance to the Indian team at the time of need.

Virat Kohli has always performed well in big tournaments, I am confident that he will also perform well in the Group 8 round of the T20 World Cup.”

Team India's schedule in Super 8

  • Talking about the T20 World Cup series, the Indian team has reached the Group 8 round by winning all three matches consecutively.
  • The next match in the league is against Canada. Then when the Super 8 matches start, the Indian team will play its first match against Afghanistan on June 20.
  • After this, Team India will face Bangladesh on June 22 and Australia on June 24.
