Rohit Sharma's bat did not work in the final of T20 World Cup 2024, Suryakumar Yadav failed and Rishabh Pant could not even open the account but Virat Kohli, who failed in the entire tournament, batted brilliantly. Virat scored 76 runs in 59 balls and took Team India to a score of 176 runs. However, there has been an uproar over his innings. Actually, Virat Kohli's critics were seen calling this innings very slow. Virat Kohli's strike rate was only 128 and this issue became very big on social media.

Virat's slow innings

Virat Kohli scored a half-century in 48 balls which is the slowest fifty of his T20 International career.

The biggest thing here is that Virat Kohli did not hit any four or six in 35 balls. That means Virat hit a four in the fifth over and after that a six came off his bat in the 18th over. That means Virat did not hit any boundary in the middle overs after the powerplay ended. Often questions have been raised on Virat Kohli that he is not able to score runs fast in the middle overs and the same was seen in the final of the T20 World Cup.

Most selfish player.

Did Virat bat more defensively?

There is no doubt that Team India was on the backfoot after losing the wickets of strong batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant and it was the responsibility of Virat Kohli to take the lead without taking any risk. He did something similar but this does not mean that you should not try to put any pressure on the opposing bowlers.

However, it is possible that Team India management has asked him to bat for 20 overs. However, it cannot be denied that Team India has scored a good score only on the basis of Virat's innings.
