Team India's dashing batsman Virat Kohli has faced criticism due to poor form in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. His bat has remained silent in the three matches played by India so far. During this, only one boundary has come from his bat. In such a situation, he is now under the scanner. Meanwhile, former Indian team player Sanjay Manjrekar has made a big statement about Virat Kohli.

Indian legend gave a big statement about Virat Kohli

• Team India's dashing batsman Virat Kohli has looked colorless in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 being played on foreign soil.
  He has struggled a lot to score runs.
• In such a situation, many questions are being raised on him. There is also a demand for him to quit T20 cricket. In this episode, former Indian player Sanjay Manjrekar has given a big statement about Virat Kohli.
• He said that if Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma play explosive innings in big matches like semi-finals or finals then no one will pay attention to their performance in the league stage.

Supported Virat Kohli

• While talking to news agency PTI, Sanjay Manjrekar supported Virat Kohli and said that,
• "If you have selected players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, then you have given priority to experience.
  You want to take your experienced players to the World Cup."
• “So that they perform well when it really matters. So I have no problem with some of these players not being in form.”
• “If these players make the team victorious by playing a decisive innings in the semi-final or final, then similar performance is expected from your senior players.”

Remembering the 1992 World Cup

• Sanjay Manjrekar took the matter forward and recalled the 1992 World Cup and claimed thatIf any of your young players performs well then it is a bonus for you.
  He said,
• “If one of your young players performs well, it is a bonus for you, like Inzamam-ul-Haq did for Pakistan in the 1992 World Cup.”
• “Senior players should contribute more and I think that is why the selection committee prioritised experience for the T20 World Cup.”
• Let us tell you that Virat Kohli has failed to maintain his IPL 2024 form in the T20 World Cup 2024.
  He has not been able to touch the double-digit mark in three matches. Meanwhile, in one match, he was out without even opening his account.
