South Africa is just a thorn in the middle of the Indian cricket team’s T20 World Cup victory. The loss of the last ODI World Cup is still burning the members of Team India. There is not much difference between the 2023 ODI World Cup team and the 2024 T20 World Cup team. There are three cricketer changes, but the rest of the core team remains the same. In this situation, Rohit Kohli’s may be the last match of their World Cup career. The senior team members of Team India are desperate to leave the field after winning that match for the country.
No matter how long Virat Kohli is not getting runs, this match is his real ordeal. It has been seen time and again in the past few years that when the rest of India’s batting line-up has completely failed in important matches, Kohli has been on fire. Former England captain Nasir Hussain sees the potential of Virat to shine in the final against Rabada-Norkiad; however, he is keeping Rohit ahead of Virat in the captaincy.
Who has been the best captain of the Indian team in recent times? This question can be answered today if Rohit Sharma wins the T20 World Cup trophy. However, former England captain Nasir Hussain is keeping Rohit ahead of Virat for the captaincy, regardless of the outcome of the final match. In his words, ‘I have been a fan of Rohit Sharma for a long time, as a batsman, as a person, and as a captain. There are many captains like Virat who show their emotions quickly, but Rohit Sharma doesn’t let it come out. Rohit is velvety on the outside but tough on the inside. But like a big grandfather on the team, he takes care of his teammates when they need him.
Despite praising Rohit as a captain, Nasir has yet to find an alternative to the batsman, Virat. In his words, ‘Virat Kohli is a big match cricketer. If you remember the Pakistan match at MCG, you will remember that Virat fought alone when everyone was out. India-Pakistan matches are always important for Indians. Virat should play the way he has played so far. He can control the rush of the match. No one can question Virat’s performance in big matches. He had to suffer for the New York pitch.
