The form of Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and veteran batsman Virat Kohli remains a matter of concern for India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Both of them have not given a good start to the team so far and due to this, former Team India player Aakash Chopra has raised the demand to exclude them.
Let us tell you that Virat has not been able to score a single half-century in the T20 World Cup so far and his highest score has been 37 runs, due to which it is a matter of concern for the Men in Blue. Virat is opening the innings for Team India in the World Cup for the first time and he has not been able to impress anyone with his performance so far.
Performance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the World Cup
Rohit and Virat have not been able to shine with their bats in this World Cup so far. The Indian captain did score a half-century against Ireland in the first match but since then his bat has not been in form. The 37-year-old has scored just 99 runs in the 5 matches played so far in the World Cup with a meager average of 19.8 and a strike rate of 125.32.
If we talk about Virat's performance, then Kohli has not been able to perform as per his stature. Fans are also disappointed with this. He has scored 66 runs in 5 matches with an average of just 13 and a strike rate of 108. In such a situation, questions are being raised on the decision of making Kohli open in this World Cup.
However, after leaving New York, his bat has started working but he has not been able to play any big innings so far.Aakash Chopra gave a big statement
Looking at the form of Rohit and Virat, Aakash Chopra said, "If we look at the form of captain Rohit Sharma and the other opener Virat Kohli now, it looks good. The ball is coming well on the bat of both these players. However, according to the standards set by these two players, their World Cup has been cold so far. Despite this, I hope that both of them will play a long innings in the upcoming matches."
