It has been a disappointing run for Virat Kohli in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The Orange Cap winner in IPL 2024, Virat Kohli was expected to be the main man in the batting unit for India. Yes, India has been winning games but Virat Kohli’s bad form is still a matter of concern for both the management and the player’s fans. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three main reasons for Virat Kohli‘s failure in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
1) A new role in the team
Virat Kohli hardly batted as an opener for Team India in any format of the game. Even coming into this edition, Yashasvi Jaiswal was expected to be one of the openers. Virat Kohli might have got the hint from the management early but yet, it was a new role for him.
It is different opening in IPL and at the international level. The level of competition is different and you must also complement the player at the other end. This might have led to Virat’s downfall in the 2024 T20 WC.
2) Conditions not suited to his strengths
The conditions are one of the main reasons for Virat Kohli’s failure in the 2024 T20 World Cup. West Indies was always going to be hard for Virat.
Things got worse with the conditions in the USA, as well. Virat Kohli’s technique revolves around tracks that are good for the batters with good bounce. It was absent in the 2024 T20 World Cup and hence, Virat struggled.
3) Lack of adaptability to the situation
Virat Kohli’s aggression was not a surprise but it was a shock that he did not adapt himself to the conditions and the situation of the game.
Considering his form in the first few games, as well, Virat could have rather waited before he went for his shots. This is a bit shocking coming from a player of his stature.
