The selection of Indian star batsman Virat Kohli for the T20 World Cup to be held in America and West Indies this year will depend on his performance in IPL 2024. According to media reports, if Kohli wants to make a place in the Indian team for this global tournament, he will have to perform brilliantly in the current season of IPL. According to the report, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar is not happy with Kohli's T20 approach. While playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL, Kohli is trying to play aggressively, but his slow strike rate has raised questions. Amidst the news of keeping Kohli out of the team, now former England player Michael Vaughan has given a statement. He has warned Agarkar regarding this decision.

Kohli is in good form

Kohli is in good form in this season of IPL. Kohli has so far scored 203 runs in four matches including two half-centuries. Kohli is leading in the race for Orange Cap this season. However, his slow strike rate is a matter of debate and many former players believe that the former Indian captain should have scored faster runs.

Vaughan had a strong message for Agarkar

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has also jumped into this debate. He gave a strong message to senior chief national selector Ajit Agarkar, saying that if he feels that he will enter the T20 World Cup without Kohli and KL Rahul, then Agarkar will need a lot of courage to defend his decision. He said, I would tell Agarkar that there is no need to be afraid of taking bold decisions. If he feels that the Indian team is strong in T20 without Kohli and KL Rahul, then he should take a decision. You should not feel pressured to include big names in the team because you know that they have not won an ICC trophy. We can give opportunity to new faces who do not have the burden of losing the ODI World Cup last year. Perhaps they will come out with new thinking. Agarkar will have 30 names in his mind and this will include batsmen, bowlers, spinners.
