Virat Kohli: Yesterday, the Indian team played its first match of Super-8. In this match, they clashed with Afghanistan present in Group-1. The Men in Blue led by Rohit Sharma won this match with great ease.

With this win, they have made the path to the semi-finals a little easier. Team India will play its next match against Bangladesh. However, there is doubt over Virat Kohli's playing in this match. In fact, a young player may be seen entering in his place.

The form of some players has become a matter of concern for the Indian team management in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. A big name in this is also Virat Kohli. In fact, this 35-year-old batsman has failed to score big so far.

During the match against Afghanistan too, the right-handed batsman lost his wicket after a good start. Kohli faced 24 balls and scored only 24 runs with the help of 1 six. While trying to play an inside out shot on a ball from Rashid Khan, Virat was caught by Mohammed Nabi at long off.

This young player will replace him in the team

Virat Kohli has played a total of 4 matches in the T20 World Cup 2024 so far. He could contribute one run against Ireland, 4 runs against Pakistan, zero against the USA and 24 runs against Afghanistan. Virat, who scored only 29 runs in 4 matches, has come under the target of critics.

Also, some cricket experts say that this great player should be dropped from Team India. If Kohli is dropped in the match against Bangladesh, then Yashasvi Jaiswal can be asked to open the innings in his place.

Team India close to reaching the semi-finals

After winning their first match in the Super-8, India's path to the final-4 does not seem very difficult. Now they will need to win only one match out of two. Rohit Sharma's team will face Bangladesh on June 22. Antigua will host this match.
