Virat Kohli was unable to enter the practise mode on Sunday as well, having arrived in the United States of America later than planned.
Virat Kohli missed all three of the team’s practise sessions after joining the Indian squad the day before the warm-up match against Bangladesh. Additionally, Rohit Sharma, the captain, stated that Kohli was not selected for the warm-up game because of his delayed arrival. Now, a rumor suggests that Virat and the other players on the Indian squad did not show up for a practice on Sunday after being allowed to rest after their match against Bangladesh. Nevertheless, the article additionally states that Kohli would participate in India’s Monday training session.
Having scored 741 runs in 15 innings, Kohli concluded the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. He also won the Orange Cap for the second time in his career during this campaign. Though there have been discussions on Kohl’s possible non-selection for the T20 World Cup, he leads all previous scorers with 1141 runs in 27 games since 2012.
Before the T20 World Cup began, the talisman, 35, was also voted the ICC’s ODI Player of the Year. After a few years of patchy performance and a struggle for high scores, he experienced another enormous peak in his brilliant career in 2023.
In 27 ODIs, he scored 1,377 runs at an average of 72.47 and a strike rate of 99.13, with six centuries and eight fifties in 24 innings. His best score was 166*.
He played a big role in India’s Asia Cup 2023 triumph, scoring an unbeaten 122* in 94 balls against arch-rivals Pakistan in a crucial Super Four stage game.
Later on in the ODI World Cup held last year at home, Virat delivered an all-timer campaign, scoring 765 runs in 11 matches at an average of 95.62, with three centuries, six half-centuries and the best score of 117.
He finished the tournament as the leading run-scorer, shattering Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 673 runs set in the 2003 World Cup. He also broke Sachin’s record of 49 ODI tons, recording his 50th ODI century against New Zealand in the quarterfinals.
