IND vs SA Final: Virat played a great innings, yet did not wave the bat after hitting a half-century… what was the reason?

New Delhi. Former Indian team captain Virat Kohli played a great innings in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 being played on a difficult pitch against South Africa. He scored 76 runs in 59 balls with the help of six fours and two sixes. This is King Kohli’s first half-century in this World Cup. Earlier, he was seen struggling throughout the tournament. At one point, Team India lost three important wickets for just 34 runs in the match. After this, Virat took the responsibility of scoring runs and completed his half-century. Kohli did not wave his bat even after scoring a half-century.

It is natural to have this question in mind that what happened that Virat did not pick up the bat despite taking the team to victory in the match. The reason behind this is also very important. Actually, even though Virat handled the team in the match, he also scored runs at a very slow pace. In some overs before the half-century, he was trying to hit big shots but he was not able to do so. Virat could not hit a boundary for 44 consecutive balls. This is the reason why Virat was probably disappointed with himself in this difficult match.

After scoring a half-century, Virat Kohli hit a half-century against Kagiso Rabada on the first ball of the 18th over. Before this, the last boundary from his bat came against Keshav Maharaj on the fourth ball of the fourth over. However, after completing his half-century, Virat played one fiery innings after another. In the 18th over, he hit a six and a four. After this, in the very next over, he again hit a six and a four. Virat was caught out while trying to play a big shot after scoring 76 runs in 69 balls in the match.
