New Delhi. Former Indian cricket team captain K Srikkanth says that Virat Kohli is the ‘King of Kings’. Srikkanth said that we do not need to worry about Virat’s form, because he is a match winner and he will score runs again. Virat Kohli’s bat is completely silent in the T20 World Cup 2024. Critics are criticizing Kohli’s form. At the same time, Srikkanth feels that Virat will score runs again and lead the team to victory. The Indian team will take on Afghanistan on Thursday in its first match of the Super 8 of the T20 World Cup.
K Srikkanth said in the ‘Star Sports Press Room’, ‘Virat (Virat Kohli) is the ‘King of Kings’. We are playing against Afghanistan tomorrow. And I don’t think we should worry. He will score runs once again. Will win the match for India. Just leave him alone.’ Virat had earlier shown great form in IPL 2024. He scored the highest 741 runs. He got the Orange Cap. Virat is opening in this World Cup.
Should any changes be made in the playing eleven of Team India (IND vs AFG) against Afghanistan? On this, Srikkanth (K Srikkanth) said that if he were the captain of Team India, he would have included wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven in the first match of Super 8. According to Srikkanth, ‘If I were the captain, I would definitely play Kuldeep Yadav. Wrist spinners can always be match winners. I can leave Siraj out. Kuldeep should definitely play on this wicket.’
Before Srikkanth, former Australian team opener Matthew Hayden also defended Virat. Hayden said that even though Virat’s bat remained silent in America, he will definitely make a splash in the Windies. Hayden also said that Virat should open the innings. He said that Kohli will perform brilliantly in the Super 8 matches.
