Dravid discussed Kohli's form

After the match, Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid talked about King Kohli's form. He said, "When you play risky cricket, many times you are not able to succeed in your plans. According to me, even in today's match, he hit a great six to maintain the momentum, but unfortunately, that ball got a little more seam (on which he got out). However, I liked his intention and method. If he is ready to do this, then it is a good sign for the team." Kohli's form is a matter of concern Virat Kohli's form remains a matter of concern in the current tournament. He was out on zero in the recent match played against Australia. This was the second time Kohli returned to the pavilion without opening the account. Earlier in the match against America, Saurabh Netravalkar had dismissed him on zero. In the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli has scored only 75 runs in seven matches so far. At the same time, Dravid expressed hope that the fans can get to see a big and important innings from the bat of King Kohli in the final.

Captain Rohit's statement about Virat

 

After the match, when asked by the presenter about Virat's form, captain Rohit said - Kohli is a quality player. Any player can go through this phase. We understand his class and we understand and know his importance in all these big matches. Form has never been a problem. When you have played cricket for 15 years, form is never a problem. He is looking good. His intentions are the same. He is probably saving his best for the final. We will support Kohli for the final.
