Lauderhill. Indian team’s star batsman Virat Kohli’s bat is quiet in the T20 World Cup. So far he has managed to score only five runs in three matches but India’s batting coach Vikram Rathore is not at all bothered by this. He said that the star batsman’s form is not a concern as he has been in great form in the nets.
Kohli, who scored the most runs in the Indian Premier League, has yet to shine in the World Cup. He scored only one run against Ireland and four runs against Pakistan while he could not even open the account against USA. I love that every time I come here I get asked questions about Virat Kohli, Rathore said after the match against Canada was washed out due to rain. Whether he is performing well or not. Don’t worry.”
Virat Kohli opens the innings with Rohit Sharma in the ICC T20 World Cup. In the first match against Ireland, he was dismissed for just 1 run. In the second match, playing against Pakistan, he could score only 4 runs while playing against America, he could not even open the account.
Vikram further said, “He (Kohli) performed brilliantly in the tournament (IPL) in which he came to play. Things don’t change just because you don’t play a few matches. He is batting really well.
Rathore is confident that Kohli will perform well when required. “It’s good that he seems a little more hungry to score runs,” he said. He is really keen to perform well. We will see some good innings from him in future.
