There is no doubt that Virat Kohli is the biggest player of Indian cricket. He is its biggest batsman. Virat is the trust of India. Kohli has won many matches for India on his own. But, every day is new in cricket. Here one has to prove oneself every day, be it a team or a player. And, after playing the first 4 matches of T20 World Cup 2024, it seems that Team India is proving itself.

But, Virat Kohli is failing in that. So does Team India not need Virat Kohli now?

The question is big and perhaps very difficult to answer. But, when the matter has come up, there must be a reason. And the reason is that when Team India is winning without Virat, then what is the need for him in the T20 format. If you look at the score card of the first 4 matches of the T20 World Cup 2024, then Virat's contribution to India's victory is negligible.

Virat failed in all three innings in the group stage of T20 World Cup 2024

Virat Kohli entered the T20 World Cup 2024 after scoring a lot of runs in IPL 2024.

In such a situation, everyone expected him to score runs. But, when the game of this ICC tournament started, the name of Virat Kohli was the dullest among the 11 players included in the Indian playing XI. Virat could not play even 10 full balls in the first 3 matches played in the group stage. He scored just 5 runs after playing 9 balls in 3 innings.

Strike rate of just 100 in the first match of Super-8

Virat failed in the group stage but Team India kept winning.

Now it was the turn of the next stage i.e. Super-8 stage. Fans thought that since the competition has increased, now the level of Virat Kohli's game will also be seen to be high. Of course it increased but not so much that he could become the hero of the match. In the first match of Super-8 played against Afghanistan, Virat Kohli scored 24 runs facing 24 balls. Now, runs at a strike rate of 100 does not suit Virat Kohli's bat. Well, Team India did not suffer any loss due to his failure here also because due to the amazing performance of other players, India won this match.

Is Virat's T20 career over after this World Cup?

Now the question is that when Team India has learned the skill of winning without Virat Kohli in T20 cricket, then what is the need for him in this format? T20 has been called the format of youth.

In such a situation, it is better to give a chance to a young player in his place and build his future. It may not seem possible if this happens during the T20 World Cup 2024, but it should not be surprising if it happens after this ICC tournament.
