On one hand, the bat of 'Hitman' i.e. Team India's captain Rohit Sharma is thundering with every match. On the other hand, the bat of Indian cricket 'King' i.e. Virat Kohli seems to be rusted in the T20 World Cup. Looking at Virat Kohli's excellent record in knockout matches, it was expected that Virat might get rid of his bad form in the semi-final against England.

But, here too the result was the same.

Virat Kohli failed to score big in the 7th consecutive innings played in the T20 World Cup 2024. Till now, questions were being raised about Virat's form outside the field. But, when the same question was asked directly to captain Rohit Sharma after the failure in the semi-finals, what he said was shocking.

Virat's best will come in the final - Rohit
