T20 World Cup 2024 will start immediately after IPL 2024. Virat Kohli, who is batting brilliantly in the 17th season of the league, will be expected to perform similarly in the upcoming World Cup. Meanwhile, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has advocated the inclusion of Virat Kohli as an opening batsman in the T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli is the batsman who has scored the most runs so far this season. Virat has scored 634 runs in 12 innings of 12 matches played so far at an average of 70.44 and strike rate of 153.51.
Virat should open
Sourav Ganguly said, “Virat is playing excellently. The way Virat Kohli played a stormy inning of 90 runs last night, you need to use him as an opener in the T20 World Cup 2024. Talking about the strength of the team, Ganguly said, 'This is a great team. I think they have picked the best possible team. Apart from the depth in batting, bowling is also looking fantastic.
T20 power oriented game
“This is going to be a trend in the coming years,” Ganguly said. T20 cricket has become a power-oriented game and that is what is going to happen. Ganguly attributed the big scores in the IPL to the impact player rule and the aggressive mindset of the batsmen. Now in IPL we are continuously seeing scores like 240, 250. “That's the way the game is going and the players are starting to see the game that way.”
better player than Dinesh
Ganguly said, “I don't believe in the format. I believe in skill.” Referring to the selection of wicketkeeper batsmen for the T20 World Cup 2024, Ganguly supported the decision to give priority to Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson over Dinesh Karthik. Ganguly supported the selectors' choice and said, “Dinesh played well, but there are better players than Dinesh. I don't think you can leave Sanju or Rishabh.”
