Concerns have been raised about Virat Kohli's form despite India's victory over England in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal. Rohit Sharma, who played a key role in India's win with his aggressive 57 off 39 balls, addressed these concerns after the match. India secured a place in the final by defeating England by 68 runs in a rain-interrupted game. Contributions from Suryakumar Yadav and the bowlers also played a crucial role in India's victory.
Throughout the tournament, Virat Kohli has struggled to score runs while opening the innings alongside Rohit. In the semifinal, Kohli was dismissed for just 9 runs off as many deliveries. Despite his lack of form, Rohit Sharma expressed confidence in Kohli's abilities, emphasising that his experience of playing cricket for 15 years makes form less of an issue. Rohit believes that Kohli is saving his best performance for the final.
India will face South Africa in the T20 World Cup final on June 29 in Barbados. This will be India's third appearance in the final, aiming to end an 11-year ICC title drought with a victory. Rohit Sharma's belief in Virat Kohli's capabilities reflects the team's confidence in their star player as they prepare for the final. The focus will be on delivering a strong team performance to secure the T20 World Cup title.
