The second semi-final between India and England was played on Thursday at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, in which Team India won the match by 68 runs and made it to the final. The final will now be played against South Africa on June 29. The match was won but there was one thing that became a cause of concern and that was Virat Kohli's poor performance. Which has become a matter of concern for Team India. There were a lot of expectations from Virat Kohli in the semi-finals but once again Virat Kohli disappointed everyone. After the match, captain Rohit Sharma has given a big statement about Virat Kohli's form.
Virat flopped in the tournament
This time Virat Kohli has looked completely flop in the T20 World Cup 2024 tournament. Virat has not yet scored a half-century in the tournament. Fans had high expectations from Kohli in this World Cup but Kohli did not live up to the expectations. Only 9 runs against England even in the semi-finals.
What did Rohit say?
Now talking about Virat's form after this match, captain Rohit Sharma said that 'He is a quality player, any player can go in this series. We know his class and we know his importance in big matches. There has never been any problem with his form. When you have played cricket for 15 years, form can never be a problem. He looks good, shows intent, maybe he is saving it for the final.'
On the other hand, after the semi-final match on Star Sports, head coach Rahul Dravid said about Virat Kohli that Virat Kohli sets an example for the team. He is showing great intention from the very first ball. I like his mindset. I don't want to speculate but I think we can see a big innings from him in the final.
Let us tell you here that in this tournament, the form of Team India's star player Virat Kohli remains a matter of concern for the fans. In the semi-final against England, Kohli was dismissed after scoring 9 runs in 9 balls. Virat Kohli's best score in this T20 World Cup 2024 is 37 runs. Which was done against Bangladesh. Crossed the double-digit mark only twice in seven innings. Has been out on single digit five times. Out of which the account was not opened twice. However, Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid have full faith in Virat and they feel that Virat will do something big in the final.
Finals on June 29
The South African team, which reached the final after defeating Afghanistan, will now face India in the final. The final will be played in Barbados on June 29. Let us tell you here that both the teams have not lost a single match in this tournament.
