Virat Kohli’s struggles continue amid team’s success
Despite the team’s overall success, Virat Kohli’s poor form has been a cause for concern among fans and analysts. Kohli, who opened the innings alongside captain Rohit Sharma in all three match🧸es, has managed to score only 5 runs in the tournament so far. He scored 1 run against Irelan🦩d, 4 runs against Pakistan, and was dismissed for a duck against the USA.
Stellar IPL form fails to translate
Kohli’s struggles in the World Cup are particularly surprising given his outstanding performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Opening for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Kohli amasseꦫd 741 runs in 15 games at an average of 61.75. However, he has been unable to replicate this form on the international stage.
