Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli: The T20 World Cup is to be organized in West Indies and America this year. Team India can be selected for this tournament after IPL 2024. Meanwhile, news came that Virat Kohli will not be a part of Team India’s squad for the T20 World Cup. However, no update has been given by BCCI regarding this. Fans also believed that going to the World Cup without Virat Kohli could be a wrong decision. Meanwhile, South Africa’s legendary former fast bowler Dale Steyn has given special tips to Virat Kohli.
Dale Steyn gave tips
Dale Steyn believes that to make it to the Indian team in the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli will have to make big scores in this year’s IPL because some other players have performed well in the last few months. Kohli has not played for India since the T20 series against Afghanistan at home in January. Due to family reasons, he could not play the five-match Test series against England.
Kohli will have to score runs
Steyn said in a conversation with Star Sports that I think it is very important for him to score runs because it will put him in a good position before the World Cup. There are many players who have performed well recently when Virat Kohli was on break and there are many contenders who can be included in the World Cup squad. In fact, Kohli has played only two T20 International matches since the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. He said that when the selectors sit to select the Indian team, Kohli’s experience will be beneficial for them.
He said that I look at the number of runs just like you look at the amount in someone’s bank. Virat has scored a lot of runs in so many years which will be beneficial for him in choosing the World Cup team. The selectors would like to include a player in the team who has played in it before and has performed well and Virat has done so. Let us tell you that Steyn is taking a break from IPL coaching this year due to family reasons. In such a situation, he will not be seen in IPL this time.
