Shivam Dube defends Virat Kohli during a difficult period during the T20 World Cup, saying, “We all know his game.”

In the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, star batsman Virat Kohli of India has not been able to get many runs. India’s opening batsman, Virat Kohli, has scored one, four, and zero against Pakistan, Ireland, and the USA, respectively. The supporters are concerned about his form because of his drab starts.

After an incredible IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 season for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he amassed 741 runs in 15 innings to earn the IPL orange crown, Kohli entered the T20 World Cup. Even though he was supposed to perform similarly for India, he hasn’t been able to accomplish that as of yet.

Shivam Dube, an all-rounder for Team India, has stepped up to support Virat Kohli, though. The 30-year-old stated that he is not at all concerned about Kohli’s form because everyone is aware of his incredible talent.

Because I am not Virat Kohli, there is nothing I can say about him. He was removed on the cheap a few times due to his poor form, but he is expected to return and score hundreds of runs in the next three games. “Everyone is aware of his style and strategy,” Dube remarked.

It doesn’t seem necessary to alter the combination at this time: Ambati Rayudu

Virat Kohli’s form has been under discussion recently. Ambati Rayudu, a former cricket player for India, stated that Kohli doesn’t need to bat at number three even though his form has declined. According to him, the Indian squad needs to adhere to the established plans.

“I don’t believe that the combination needs to be changed at this time. We witnessed an excellent cover drive, and even on the ball that Kohli was bowled off of (against Pakistan), he had played a good shot but was unable to attain the elevation necessary to get over the defender. The intention he displayed was admirable, and if Virat and Rohit can both bat with it, then the big days will arrive when any of them or both can handily win India the match, according to Rayudu.
