Virat Kohli’s Disappointing Performance in T20 World Cup 2024
Former Indian captain Virat Kohli’s performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 has been far from impressive. In the semi-final match against England, Kohli could only manage to score 9 runs in 9 balls before being clean bowled by fast bowler Reece Topley. This has disappointed fans who had high expectations from the experienced batsman.
Struggles Throughout the World Cup
Throughout this World Cup season, Kohli has struggled to make an impact with the bat. In 7 matches played so far, he has only scored 75 runs, with his best score being 37 runs. His strike rate has been a meager 100, and his average stands at a poor 10.71. This poor performance has marked this World Cup season as one of the worst in Kohli’s career.
Historical Comparison of Kohli’s T20 World Cup Performances
In comparison to his past performances in T20 World Cups, Kohli’s current season stands out as the worst. In previous World Cups, he has shown exceptional batting skills, like scoring 319 runs in the 2016 season, a record that still stands. However, this time around, Kohli’s struggles at the pitch have been evident, culminating in his disappointing performance in the semi-final match against England.
Opportunity Lost in Semi-finals
The semi-final match against England presented an opportunity for Kohli to turn his World Cup season around, but he failed to deliver. As the sixth T20 World Cup of his career, this season has been particularly challenging for Kohli. Despite his past successes in the tournament, he could not replicate them in this edition, marking it as a season to forget.
