741 runs in 15 matches of IPL 2024. More than 1100 runs in the history of T20 World Cup. Hardly anyone would have thought that Virat Kohli, who reached T20 World Cup 2024 with such form and such a great record, would be in such a bad condition within 3 weeks that he would have to be consoled.

Still it happened and like every match, Virat Kohli's bat could not show any color in the semi-finals as well. Virat Kohli again got out cheaply in the semi-final against England and the scene that was seen in Team India's dressing room after this is enough to break the hearts of Virat Kohli's fans.

When I failed again, I started abusing myself

In the semi-final against England in Guyana, Team India came out to bat first and like every previous match, all eyes were on whether this time the Kohli-Rohit Sharma pair would be able to give a quick start.

Both tried but initially did not succeed. Then Virat Kohli tried to make some impact by hitting a six but like in the entire tournament, in an attempt to continuously play big shots, Kohli again got out early and returned to the pavilion after scoring just 9 runs.

Kohli could not do anything special in 5 of the last 6 innings of the tournament, but then there was neither anger nor disappointment in his expressions. This time both of these were seen. After being bowled by Reece Topley, Kohli looked furious and returned to the pavilion cursing himself. This failure of Virat Kohli was already a big shock for his fans, but the scene that was seen on TV after some time was heartbreaking.

heart breaking sight

Virat was sitting dejected in the dressing room, where Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah were also present with him. Kohli was probably thinking about his shot and his performance throughout the tournament. Meanwhile, the team's head coach Rahul Dravid reached there and consoled Kohli by placing his hand on his knee. This is where Kohli became even more sad and he softly shared his disappointment with the coach by saying something. Dravid also left without saying anything. Its video immediately went viral and Kohli fans started expressing grief over the condition of their star batsman.

Don't be sad, King Virat Kohli. We will win! We want a roaring Kohli. We can't see you like this. #INDvsENG pic.twitter.com/a1zoso3wpr

Earlier, there were high expectations from Kohli, who had consistently performed well in the last 5 T20 World Cups. The kind of excellent form he had entered the World Cup with, it seemed that he would perform like before. However, it was decided to make him an opener and perhaps this went against Kohli, where he started trying to bat fast as soon as he came. Except for a decent innings of 37 runs in the Super-8 match against Bangladesh, he failed every time. He scored only 75 runs in 7 innings till the semi-finals, in which he could not even open his account twice.
