In the IPL 2024, Virat Kohli is punishing pacers and appears to be in excellent form ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Because he has scored the most runs in the lucrative league, the “King” is wearing the coveted Orange cap. Virat Kohli’s strike rate has been a source of concern, but according to a Cricbuzz report, he will definitely be included in the team for the 2024 T20 World Cup. The same report also highlighted Rishabh Pant’s excellent form and predicted that he would also be able to return to form during the World Cup.
The highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match is scheduled for June 9 in New York, and the T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to start on June 1 in the United States. Formerly, it was reported by sources close to the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) that the board was unsure of Virat Kohli’s selection for the Twenty20 World Cup team.
The selection committee was undecided about selecting Virat Kohli at number three when younger players with higher strike rates in the past, like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were available. However, given his prolific batting thus far in the IPL 2024, the selectors appear inclined to hold him in the 2024 squad for the T20 World Cup.
The return of Rishabh Pant to international cricket
Following an odd car accident in 2022, Rishabh Pant had a fantastic return in the 2024 Indian Premier League, putting on some outstanding performances for the Delhi Capitals. The batter’s chances of making a return to international cricket have definitely increased. He is known for having a good strike rate in the T20 format of the game. Give it a few more games. As you can all see by his continued batting, he is progressing quite nicely. He has thus far held up well and been in excellent form, particularly when it comes to his batting in the last two games. If the selectors decide to choose him, give me another week and I’ll be in a position to respond to that query. That makes it the most crucial. Yes, indeed, he is fully fit, according to Sourav Ganguly, a former Indian captain, who was quoted by Cricbuzz.
