New Delhi: Virat Kohli is opening in the T20 World Cup 2024 so far. His performance during this time has not been anything special. He has scored 5 runs in 3 matches. Former Australian batsman Matthew Hayden said on Wednesday that the experience of conditions and different types of pitches makes Virat Kohli a world-class batsman, due to which he will perform well in the Caribbean leg of the World Cup.
Kohli is a world-class batsman in every situation
Hayden said in a program on Wednesday, Kohli has been a world-class batsman in any situation. Virat should open for India in the Super-8 as well. I don’t think he will be able to perform best at number three. You cannot score 250 runs as soon as you come on these wickets. You need a cricketer who plays thoughtfully. In the Caribbean soil, you have to think about your innings and the way to set a target.
The score outside St. Lucia is 160-170 runs and Virat will be able to figure out what to do with all his experience. Virat faced difficult situations. Everyone wants to see these great champion players playing freely and this is going to happen because experience matters.
Bishop praised Bumrah
Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop described Jasprit Bumrah as a bowler born once in a generation and said that the players of the rival team sometimes do not target him due to his reputation. Bishop said, Jasprit is a smart bowler. He has speed.
But he knows better than many bowlers where to use his ‘variation’. You must have heard him saying that I do not do ‘stump hunting’ every day because there are some days when I bowl a yorker and sometimes a wide yorker, sometimes I bowl a slow ball or use my bouncer depending on the conditions.
