Kohli has looked to be aggressive but great intent doesn&#8217;t always meet the right result and hence on slow pitches in the USA and the Caribbean, it hasn&#8217;t worked out as well for the two-time Player of the Tournament in T20 World Cup history. Kohli, who had been dismissed for a single-digit score only twice in five previous editions of tournament, has recorded five already this year.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Kohli&#8217;s lean patch has meant that India haven&#8217;t gotten big starts as a partnership even though skipper <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/rohit-sharma\" rel=\"noopener\">Rohit Sharma<\/a> is the third leading run-getter in the tournament. However, Rohit believed that Kohli has in him the best saved for the last when\u00a0asked about his predecessor&#8217;s form while saying that the form is never an issue when the player has been playing for over decade and a half.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s a quality player. Any player can go through that. We do understand his class and his importance in all these big games. Form is never a problem because when you&#8217;ve played cricket for 15 years, it isn&#8217;t a problem. He is looking good, the intent is there. He&#8217;s probably saving for the finals,\u201d Rohit said at the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Rahul Dravid also echoed Rohit&#8217;s sentiments saying that he also thinks that Kohli might have a big one in store in the final against South Africa. &#8220;When you play a slightly high-risk brand of cricket, there can be times when it doesn&#8217;t come off. Even today, I thought he hit a really good six to set the tempo but he was just unlucky that the balls just maybe seamed a little bit more,&#8221; Dravid said talking to Star Sports after India&#8217;s semi-final win against England. &#8220;But I love the intent, I loved the way he went about doing it, sets a great example to the group as well.    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to jinx it but I think there&#8217;s a big one coming up,&#8221; Dravid added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/probably-saving-for-the-final-rohit-sharma-not-worried-about-virat-kohli-s-poor-form-in-t20-world-cup-2024-06-28-939257\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : AP Rohit Sharma was optimistic of a Virat Kohli blast in the finale after a lean T20 World Cup for India It has been not a great time for former India captain Virat Kohli at the ongoing ICC Men&#8217;s T20 World Cup scoring just 75 runs in seven innings.
