Delhi: Team India's veteran batsman Virat Kohli is going through a very bad phase in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. On Wednesday, he was out on zero on the first ball against the United States. Earlier, he was able to score only 1 run against Ireland and returned to the pavilion after scoring 4 runs against Pakistan. King Kohli has scored only 5 runs in the last three matches. Now questions are being raised on his form as an opening batsman. Meanwhile, Virat's teammate and India's star all-rounder Shivam Dubey has supported him. Along with this, he has expressed confidence that right-handed batsman Kohli will score a century in the next three matches.

Speaking to PTI, 30-year-old Shivam said, “I cannot say anything about Virat Kohli because I am not Virat Kohli. His poor form has meant that he has been dismissed cheaply a few times, but Virat Kohli will come back with a century in the next three matches. We all know his game and how he plays.”

Virat Kohli has performed brilliantly

It is worth noting that the Indian team is also confident of Virat Kohli returning to form, as he has registered many big records in the history of the T20 World Cup. In 28 innings, he has scored 1,146 runs at a strike rate of 130.52 with an impressive average of 67.41 and 14 half-centuries. The 35-year-old also won the Player of the Tournament award consecutively in the 2014 and 2016 editions of the T20 World Cup. At the same time, he was also the top scorer in the 2022 T20 World Cup. Virat scored 296 runs at an average of 98.66. Even in the recently held 17th edition of the Indian Premier League, he has won the Orange Cap title by scoring the most runs.

It is known that the Indian team has qualified for the Super-8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see whether Kohli can help the blue jersey team enter the top four with his batting.
