The Indian cricket team has arrived in the Caribbean for the critical Super Eight phase of the T20 World Cup 2024. After defeating Ireland, Pakistan, and the USA, they finished at the top of Group A without losing a single match.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, often hailed as the greatest cricketer in T20 history, has struggled in the group stage, scoring only five runs in three innings. Fans are eager to see if he can regain his form in the Super Eight.
On the day before the Afghanistan match, Kohli engaged in an extended net session to regain his form. Despite his efforts, reports from Bridgetown suggest the former captain continued to struggle, especially against reserve seamer Khaleel Ahmed.
“Kohli, looking to get back among the runs, had a long hit, most of which were throwdowns before he moved to the adjacent net to face Kuldeep and Khaleel Ahmed. Kohli middled most of the balls against Kuldeep but missed out on a few from Khaleel, leaving him frustrated,” a source was quoted as saying by News 18.
Reports suggest that the Kensington Oval pitch is starting to show turn, potentially encouraging India to bring Kuldeep back into the XI. It’s worth mentioning that he hasn’t played a single game in the T20 World Cup 2024 so far.
