Virat Kohli’s presence in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 squad has caused a massive uproar among cricket experts. According to a report in the Telegraph, the selectors don’t want him in the team. On the other, Cricbuzz has revealed that Kohli will travel with the squad.
India will announce its squad for the T20 World Cup in May. Despite speculation, Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector, recently lauded the veteran batter for his fitness.
“Virat Kohli has set a benchmark for fitness in cricket. He is getting fitter with growing age. He shows the importance of fitness. The facilities and training facilities also help the players.
With 316 runs at a strike rate of 146 from five games, Kohli is currently leading the batting charts. Even though it came in a losing effort, Kohli’s century of 113 against the Rajasthan Royals was eclipsed by Jos Buttler’s 58-ball ton.
The debate on Kohli’s selection for the T20 World Cup intensified in the first week of the IPL when Ravi Shastri and Kevin Pietersen doubted his spot in the team. Two days after scoring his first half-century of IPL 2024, Kohli playfully responded to the former players’ criticism with a cheeky remark.
“While my name is now closely associated with promoting cricket globally. In T20’s I’ve still got it.” said Kohli.
