Virat Kohli: Team India's star batsman and global icon Virat Kohli has not been able to make a mark in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. This right-handed batsman has been seen struggling a lot to score runs so far. Yesterday, against Australia, this player returned to the pavilion without opening his account.

Before England's semi-final matches, a bad news is coming out for Kohli (Virat Kohli). Actually, he has been dropped from the team. His poor performance is being cited as the reason behind this. The team management has included Abhishek Sharma in his place. Let's discuss in detail.

Virat Kohli dropped from Team India

It has rarely been seen so far that Virat Kohli is completely out of form. However, something similar has been seen in the T20 World Cup 2024. Before the start of the tournament, fans had high hopes from the 35-year-old veteran that he would perform well.

So far, the right-handed batsman has scored only 66 runs in a total of seven matches. His highest score has been 37. Virat could not even open his account against America and Australia. This is the reason why this player has been removed from the T20 series against Zimbabwe and Abhishek Sharma has been included.
