The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is around the corner and now according to multiple sources, it is strongly believed that Virat Kohli would be ignored by the national selectors. If that is true, then it not only will be a blow to the billion people but also to the stake-holders as Virat Kohli is someone who doesn’t fear any one and is ready for any uphill challenge.
Many cricket experts argue that Virat Kohli’s strike rate is an issue especially in the middle overs against the spinners. Virat perhaps will have to alter his batting approach as smashing a 40 odd ball 50 runs doesn’t do any good to the team in the modern cricket. We should not forget that Virat Kohli is also a part of leadership group as Rohit & Virat can be seen discussing the gameplan and strategy.
Virat Kohli is the biggest draw of any player in the world- Stuart Broad
Stuart Broad took to his social media handle; twitter and was quite stun to hear from sources with knowledge that Virat Kohli would be dropped from the national T20 WC 2024 squad. Stuart Broad was quite sure that Virat will be a part of the squad and said that he is the biggest draw of any player in the world.
“This can’t be true. Just from a fans point of view of growing the game, the ICC putting games on in America, India Vs Pakistan in New York, Virat is the biggest draw of any player in the world, I’m sure he will be selected,” said Stuart Broad.
Virat Kohli an Asset
We should not forget that T20I cricket isn’t just going berserk as the team needs a stabilizer and Virat is someone who can take the team out of the tricky situations. There are high chances that the pitches in Caribbean would assist the bowlers and would be sluggish which would make life harder for the pinch hitters.
A lot will depend on how Virat Kohli fares in the much awaited IPL 2024 edition which is a massive learning curve for all cricketers. It would be interesting to see whether Virat continues to open the batting along with RCB skipper Faf du Plessis as the duo just enlightened the IPL 2023 with their fearless brand of cricket.
