New Delhi. In Super 8 today on 20th June the teams of India and Afghanistan will face each other. Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli has yet to bat in the tournament. Virat Kohli has managed to score only 5 runs in 3 matches so far. Former South African cricketer Morne Morkel hopes that Virat will definitely shine in the Super 8. Morkel says there is no need to worry about Virat Kohli.
Morne Morkel said on Star Sports, “Don’t worry about Virat. Class players know how to score at the right time. If I were a bowler I would have felt nervous bowling against him. He is a player who rotates the strike and hits fours even on good balls. I am excited to see how they perform. They will surely play well in Super 8.
Virat bats at number three in international cricket but is opening in the T20 World Cup. Virat, who scored 1 against Ireland and 4 against arch-rivals Pakistan, added two unwanted records to his name when he was dismissed for 0 against America. This is the first time in the T20 World Cup that Virat has been dismissed for 0 and his T20I batting average has dropped below 50 after this innings.
Coming to the 2022 T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli was the highest run-scorer for India. He scored a total of 296 runs in 6 matches. His highest score was 96 and the average was around 98.66. He scored a total of 4 fifties in the tournament. Kohli was the batsman who scored the most runs in this IPL at the start of the season.
