New Delhi. India has reached the final of the T20 World Cup. It made it to the title match not by defeating England but by crushing them badly. The heroes of this victory were many players including captain Rohit Sharma. Some players like Virat Kohli also failed in the match. Kohli has not lived up to expectations in the entire tournament. Critics have started targeting him on this issue. To answer these critics, no one else from the Indian team but the captain himself came forward. He said that Kohli has probably saved his best for the final. Wait.
India defeated England by 68 runs in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. India scored 171 runs for 7 wickets in this match. After this, England was all out for 103 runs. Captain Rohit Sharma led from the front and played an innings of 57 runs. Virat Kohli was out after scoring 9 runs. Kohli has not been able to score a single fifty in this World Cup. He could not go beyond single digit in 5 of the last 7 innings.
Kohli, who is facing criticism, is getting full support from captain Rohit Sharma. On the question whether Kohli will play the final, Rohit said, ‘Sure. He (Kohli) is a great player. Any player can go through this (being out of form). We know his class and understand his importance in big matches. When you have been playing cricket for 15 years, form is never a problem.’
Rohit Sharma expects a great performance from Virat Kohli in the final against South Africa. The T20 World Cup final is to be held on 29 June. Rohit Sharma said about this match, ‘He (Virat) seems to be in rhythm. There is also intent. He has probably saved his best for the final.’
