Why did Virat Kohli’s bat get rusted in T20 World Cup 2024, if this mistake is not rectified then his career will be over
T20 World Cup 2024 is going like a nightmare for Virat Kohli. So far the 35-year-old batsman has not been able to reach even the double-digit mark. The Orange Cap winner of IPL 2024 was expected to show his batting prowess in the ICC event as well but so far he has got nothing but disappointment.
Virat got out after scoring just 1 run against Ireland, and could hit just 1 four against Pakistan. And now in the match against America, he could not even open his account. After this, the question arises that what big mistake is Virat (Virat Kohli) making.
Virat Kohli is in a hurry
- This is the first time that Virat Kohli is seen opening in an ICC tournament.
- Before this, he has played all the tournaments as number 3. There is a huge difference between Kohli who opens the innings and Kohli who bats at number 3.
- At this stage, Virat seems to be desperate to score runs at a faster rate than required and is looking for as many boundaries as possible.
- Whereas the slow pitch of Nassau Cricket Stadium does not allow them to do so.
- Although there is no match scheduled at the Nasai Cricket Stadium now. But Virat will have to come out of this habit of hurrying so that he can play a long innings.
The bowlers exposed their old weakness
- Another old mistake of Virat Kohli is being exposed in this T20 World Cup 2024. That is his weakness against the fast bowler's ball going outside the off stump.
- Ireland's Mark Adair had put Virat in trouble. After this, Naseem Shah also trapped Virat Kohli in his net by continuously targeting the line of the 5th-6th stump.
- On the first ball, the Indian batsman hit a brilliant drive for a boundary. But then on the next ball, he got caught by the point fielder.
- Then against America, left-handed Saurabh Netravalkar also forced Virat to flirt with a ball outside the off stump and the ball took the outside edge of the bat and was caught in the wicketkeeper's gloves.
A big innings will come soon
- Now the question arises that how can Virat Kohli come out of this bad phase.
- Based on his experience, no bowler can stop him from playing a big innings.
- But this time if Kohli comes to open, he needs to give himself time.
- We all have seen how Virat can prove to be lethal in the end overs after taking time in the first 10 balls.
- Apart from this, now there is no match in Nassau Cricket Stadium, so now a better pitch is expected for batting.
- Hopefully soon the fans will get to see a big innings from his bat.
