Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta has said that if Virat Kohli gives the team a good start in the Super 8 matches of the T20 World Cup 2024, it will be enough. He says impressive innings is more important. So far, Virat Kohli has managed to score 5 runs in three matches of the World Cup. In such a situation, questions are being raised about him, but everyone knows what is the condition of the player Virat Kohli. India are scheduled to take on Afghanistan in their first match of the Super 8 on June 20. In such a situation, the team management will hope that some runs will come from Virat Kohli’s bat.
While talking on Star Sports, former cricketer Deep Dasgupta, who is doing commentary in T20 World Cup 2024, said that from Rohit Sharma’s example, if you score 20-25 runs in 15 balls, it is enough. He said, “We are talking about runs, which is important, but if you are opening and especially in this format, impact is more important. You can score 30 runs, but if those 30 runs come in 20 balls. , so it is more important than scoring 50 runs in 45 balls.
He continued, “These are the matches and pitches where you have to play such innings. If you take Rohit’s example, in the last one-and-a-half years, he has not scored big runs, but he gives rhythm in every match. 20-25 runs in 15 balls. Not a bad innings, but even if he scores 25 off 15 balls, Rohit Sharma has scored 68 runs on a poor New York pitch. At the same time, Rishabh Pant has scored 96 runs in three innings.
Deep Dasgupta has admitted that Virat Kohli’s form is not a concern. He said, “I seriously believe that form is irrelevant in T20. If you don’t score runs in two matches, you are not a bad player, you are not out of form, you are out of runs, which is what Virat Kohli said. Virat’s career and other “All things considered, Kohli is there, I’m not at all worried about his form. The cricketer-turned-commentator said that India’s batting base will ultimately determine how it returns to its run-scoring ways.”
