Coach Rathore unhappy with Kohli's batting: Indian team's star batsman Virat Kohli has not been able to show amazing batting performance in the ICC T20 World Cup yet. Kohli's fans are eagerly waiting to see a big innings from his bat, but even after these five matches, the fans' wish has not been fulfilled. After Kohli's excellent form in the IPL, it was expected that his explosive style would be seen in the T20 World Cup as well, but unfortunately this did not happen. Team India's batting coach also expressed disappointment over Kohli's performance.
Kohli's bat did not work in the T20 World Cup
In the first match of the T20 World Cup, Kohli scored just one run against Ireland. After this, he was out for just four runs against Pakistan as well. Sadly, he could not even open his account against host USA. While in the first match of Super-8 against Afghanistan, Kohli could score only 24 runs in 24 balls.
India has to play its second match of Super-8 against Bangladesh. In the press conference before this match, batting coach Vikram Rathod was asked about Virat Kohli's form.
Coach is not happy with Virat Kohli's batting!
Vikram Rathod said, 'I am not happy. I would feel better if he scored more runs.' It is good when you are challenged sometimes. You know, people who do not get a chance to bat often in India scored runs today. It was good to see that our middle order contributed well.
Talking about Kohli's batting order here, Vikram Rathore said, “Are you guys not happy with Kohli's opening? I think everyone wants Kohli to start the innings. We don't think about it at all. We are happy with our batting order and even if this order changes, it will be done keeping in mind the opposition team and the conditions.”
