Virat Kohli’s Inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup Squad Undisputed: Irfan Pathan
Virat Kohli’s form in the ongoing Indian Premier League has left no doubt in the minds of the BCCI selectors as they included him in India’s T20 World Cup squad without hesitation. Despite concerns about his strike rate in T20 cricket, cricket experts unanimously agreed on his inclusion in the squad, a decision that was officially confirmed earlier this week.
Former India pacer Irfan Pathan went a step further by predicting that when the time comes for a tough chase during the T20 World Cup, it will be Virat Kohli who will be the one standing till the end. Pathan emphasized Kohli’s ability to chase down targets and labeled him as the ‘chase master’, citing his memorable innings against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup where he single-handedly took India to victory.
With over 500 runs in the IPL, including a century and four fifties, at a strike rate of 147.49, Kohli’s performance speaks for itself. Pathan highlighted Kohli’s calculative approach and his ability to thrive under pressure in big matches, making him a valuable asset for India in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
As the T20 World Cup approaches, all eyes will be on Kohli to deliver once again on the big stage. With India set to face Ireland and arch-rivals Pakistan in their group matches, Kohli’s presence will be crucial in India’s quest for glory in the tournament jointly hosted by the West Indies and USA.
In conclusion, Virat Kohli’s inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup squad is a testament to his enduring class and ability to perform when it matters the most. As the tournament draws near, fans can expect Kohli to once again showcase his prowess and lead India’s charge towards T20 World Cup glory.
