Lucknow: The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is being played under the hosting of West Indies and the United States. In this tournament, the Indian cricket team has performed brilliantly so far and has won all its three matches. With this, they have also qualified for the Super-8. However, in this World Cup, veteran batsman Virat Kohli has performed disappointingly so far and has scored only 5 runs in three matches. In such a situation, his poor form remains a matter of concern for the Indian team as he constantly struggles with the bat.

In fact, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Virat scored more than 700 runs while opening and won the Orange Cap. Keeping this in mind, the Indian team management decided to field Kohli as an opener in the World Cup. However, this decision has proved wrong so far and the 35-year-old has not been able to perform well. In such a situation, his form has worried the fans but star spinner Piyush Chawla has made a big statement during a conversation on Hotstar.
He said, “Virat Kohli's form is not a matter of concern as he has scored a lot of runs in the recently concluded IPL 2024. In such a situation, his form is not a matter of concern. The pitches here are also such that they are not conducive to batting and that is why big runs have not come off his bat. However, you will soon see that he will be seen playing a long innings.”
Let us tell you that Virat scored only 1 run in the first match against Ireland. Whereas against Pakistan, he was out after scoring 4 runs, while against America, Kohli could not open his account. In such a situation, the lack of a big innings from his bat has worried the Indian fans, but Chawla is not worried at all and he believes that the right-handed batsman will soon be seen playing a big innings.
The Men in Blue have won all three matches played so far and have qualified for the Super-8 but they still have to play one match in the group stage. Team India will take the field against Canada in Florida on June 15. In such a situation, fans will hope that Kohli's bat will score a big innings in this match.
