In the T20 World Cup 2024, there is a big match coming up between India and the USA. Virat Kohli, the captain of the Indian team, needs 72 runs to surpass Babar Azam in the all-time T20I batting charts. However, Kohli has not been in the best form during the group stages of the tournament. Harbhajan Singh, a former Indian spinner and World Cup winner, has stated that Kohli is not focused on statistics and is not concerned about reclaiming the top spot in the T20I batting charts. He believes that Kohli is more interested in getting some runs under his belt during the group stage of the T20 World Cup.
Babar Azam has already gone past Virat Kohli’s tally for most runs in men’s T20Is in the ongoing tournament. Kohli has struggled to perform at his best, managing only five runs in two matches so far. Despite this, Harbhajan Singh is confident that Kohli will be working hard to score big runs before the next round of matches in the Caribbean. He emphasized that Kohli is a champion player who knows how to deliver when it matters the most.
Currently, Kohli is 71 runs behind Babar Azam in the batting charts. While Babar has an average of 40 in 121 matches, Kohli averages 50 in T20I cricket. Kohli has been opening the batting for India in the T20 World Cup 2024 alongside Rohit Sharma. Even though he has not had a great start to the tournament, former fast bowler Laxmipathy Balaji believes that Kohli does not have anything to prove to anyone. He is confident that Kohli will be eager to make his mark on the world stage and show his true potential.
India did not make any changes to their playing XI for the crucial match against the USA. Despite the absence of the opposition captain Monank Patel due to injury, the Indian team is focused on putting up a strong performance and securing a win. With the upcoming matches in the tournament, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli as he aims to lead his team to victory and prove his worth on the international stage.
