Virat Kohli: Team India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli has said goodbye to T20 cricket and now he will never be seen playing for India in this format. In such a situation, the team will always miss him but there are some young players who can fill his void to some extent.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah would like to replace him with a player who can handle the innings like Kohli and can also play big shots when needed.

Virat Kohli has bid farewell to T20 cricket in the same manner that every player dreams of.

Kohli has played many memorable innings in this format while playing at number 3. Who can forget the innings played by him against Pakistan in Melbourne. In such a situation, a young player will now be seen playing in his place.

Riyan Parag can replace Kohli

Young batsman Riyan Parag, who plays for Rajasthan Royals in IPL and for Assam in domestic cricket, is considered a promising player. He also gave proof of his talent in IPL 2024 and performed brilliantly. This player has also performed consistently well in domestic cricket.

If we talk about Parag's statistics in IPL 2024, then he made a lot of noise this season and performed well for his team. The right-handed batsman played 15 matches and scored 573 runs at an average of 52 and a strike rate of around 150 and during this time 4 half-centuries came off his bat.

Parag can make his debut against Zimbabwe

Riyan Parag got the reward for his good performance in IPL and he has been included in the team for the 5-match T20 series against Zimbabwe starting from July 6. This young player may get a chance to debut against Zimbabwe.

In such a situation, Parag will have a golden opportunity to perform well and secure his place in the team and if he gets a chance to play continuously, he can fill the void left by Kohli to some extent.
