With the Indian squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup still a few months away, Virat Kohli’s position is once again in the spotlight. The veteran batsman performed well for the national team in the 2022 T20 World Cup but failed to convince the selectors of his ability to convert as per the demands of modern T20 cricket. While the player’s place in the T20 squad will be decided based on IPL 2024, reports suggest that chief selector Ajit Agarkar has been asked to “convince” Virat to be a part of the squad The young man gave way.
According to the report telegraph, Agarkar informed Virat that he needed to change his approach. The conversation prompted Kohli to bat more aggressively in the T20Is against Afghanistan but could only score a match-high 29 runs.
The report further claimed that the selectors felt that West Indies’ slow wickets did not suit Kohli’s natural game as a batsman. Therefore, the selection committee has been evaluating the options for the showcase event.
According to reports, chief elector Agarkar also took on the task of convincing Kohli that he must make way for the younger generation in the shortest possible time.
If Kohli steps aside, players like Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube They are all players who can be used in the midfield. But, it’s not over yet for Kohli. It is also believed that Virat’s fortunes could change if he goes on to have an exemplary season with Royal Challengers Bangalore and prove to the selectors that he can perform in the modern T20 format.
However, Kohli is yet to join the RCB camp ahead of the IPL 2024 season. He missed the entire England Test series due to the birth of his son Akai.
