In a thrilling semi-final clash at the T20 World Cup, India showcased their dominance by defeating England by 68 runs, securing their spot in the final against South Africa. However, amidst the celebrations, one topic that has been on everyone’s mind is Virat Kohli’s form. The star batter has struggled throughout the tournament, managing just 75 runs in seven innings.
During the post-match presentation, Indian captain Rohit Sharma was asked about Kohli’s performance. With a confident smile, Rohit responded, “He’s a quality player. Any player can go through that. We do understand his class and his importance in all these big games. Form is never a problem because when you’ve played cricket for 15 years, it isn’t a problem. He is looking good, the intent is there. He’s probably saving for the finals”.
