T20 World Cup: A left-arm bowler was reportedly difficult to handle for Virat Kohli in the nets prior to the start of Team India’s campaign in the T20 World Cup Super 8 Stage.
The world of cricket is keeping a careful eye on Virat Kohli, the star batsman for Team India, as he struggles to find form, turning in a number of poor performances during the T20 World Cup group stage. His difficulties against left-arm pacers are also a source of increasing concern, as evidenced by the team’s intense practise sessions in the run-up to the crucial Super 8 stage.
Known for his aggressive batting style and remarkable consistency, Kohli hasn’t performed up to par thus far in the competition.
With his group-stage match scores of 1, 4, and 0, supporters and analysts are concerned about his form. These difficulties are especially worrying as India prepares for the high-stakes Super 8 matches.
Apparently, throughout India’s practise session, Kohli’s problems in the nets persisted. Khaleel Ahmed, a left-arm pacer, allegedly troubled him, and he was unable to produce fluidity in his stroke play.
Throughout his career, Kohli has struggled against quality left-arm pacers, and now this weakness appears to be hitting home at a crucial time.
According to reports, before moving to the adjacent net to take on left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed, Kohli had a lengthy batting session, during which the majority of the deliveries he faced were throwdowns.
Kohli reportedly middled most of the deliveries by Kuldeep Yadav, but struggled against Khalil Ahmed, leaving him upset.
The management of the Indian squad is fully behind Kohli and has voiced faith in his capacity to improve from his current form, despite the mounting worries.
Important players like Virat Kohli’s performance will be crucial as India gets ready for the Super 8 stage.
India’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup will be greatly impacted by his ability to improve on his present performance and silence his detractors.
