New Delhi:
Some valuable advice to Virat: The ongoing T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024) is in its last phase. And all eyes are on the final match between India and South Africa in Barbados on Saturday. And before the match, fans and pundits are talking about different aspects, but the biggest talk is on Kohli’s form. Kohli’s average has been less than 11 in the last 7 matches. When a picture of his sad face from the dressing room went viral in the last match, a large section of fans also sympathized with him. However, former batsman Mohammad Kaif has given Virat some very important advice on the eve of the mega final. This can also be called a big motivation.
Kaif said in the released video, “Kohli needs to remember that even MS Dhoni’s World Cup in 2011 was not good, but he got form from the final match. A small suggestion is that Kohli should not slog. It is not a slogging league. A player is and can dominate any attack.

Kaif said that Dhoni was out of form in the 2011 World Cup as well. And he wasn’t scoring runs either, but he played almost 90 innings in the final. Dhoni hit a six over long-on. Dhoni’s six against Kulasekhara is stuck in everyone’s mind. That six is etched in the memories of fans across India.
The former cricketer said that is why I believe Virat has a good chance to be the hero in the final match and Kohli has a good chance. Haven’t scored runs yet, forget it completely and this is your chance to be a hero. He reminded Kohli that he had scored a century against South Africa in the World Cup at Eden Gardens. You played very well then, but you didn’t slog, rather you played the ball on its merits. He used to shoot cricket shots.
Kaif said that I believe Kohli should not be slogging even in the file. Take a cricket shot. Do not take shots leaving the wicket. He is a very good player. Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and others are doing their job but Kohli must play till the end, play on merit. And I think Kohli can do what MS Dhoni did in 2011 World Cup.
