Virat Kohli disappointed even in the semi-finals English bowler clean bowled Kohli
New Delhi. Veteran batsman Virat Kohli’s disappointing performance continues in the T20 World Cup 2024. Virat could not do anything amazing even in the crucial semi-final against England. Kohli hit a classic no look six in this match but just one ball later he was clean bowled and went to the pavilion. Fans had come to Guyana’s Providence Stadium to see a big innings from Virat’s bat but once again they were disappointed. The way Kohli performed brilliantly in IPL 2024, it was expected that he would repeat this performance in the World Cup as well but it could not happen. IPL’s hero proved to be zero in T20 World Cup.
Virat Kohli could score only 9 runs off 9 balls in the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final against England. He was clean bowled by Reek Topley. Kohli scored the highest 741 runs while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2024. He scored these runs in 15 innings. He was awarded the Orange Cap for scoring the most runs in the IPL. But as soon as he stepped into the T20 World Cup, Kohli looked completely different here.
Virat Kohli scored only 75 runs in 7 innings in the T20 World Cup 2024 in which his best score was 37 runs. During this his average score was 10 in which he could not even open the account twice. This World Cup was nothing special for this dashing batsman. Earlier, Kohli had scored half centuries in the last 2 semi-finals. Virat is playing his fourth semi-final of the T20 World Cup.
Kohli has been playing T20 World Cup since 2012. In the semi-finals of the 2014 T20 World Cup, Kohli scored 72 runs while in the last 4 matches of the 2016 T20 World Cup, Virat scored an unbeaten 89 against the Windies. In the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup, Virat also scored a half-century. Virat also looked angry with himself after getting out against England.
