Virat Kohli walking to the pavilion after being dismissed in the match against Ireland in T20 World Cup 2024.
The T20 World Cup 2024 did not start well with the bat for Indian team’s star player Virat Kohli. Kohli, who came out to open with captain Rohit Sharma in the match against Ireland, returned to the pavilion after scoring just 1 run. Virat Kohli, who is playing the sixth World Cup in his T20 career, who has dominated the history of this tournament so far, came out to play as an opening batsman in the T20 World Cup for the first time. In the earlier T20 World Cups, Kohli has been seen playing in the middle order, in which runs have been seen from his bat at an average of more than 80. In the match against Ireland, Kohli faced only 5 balls.
For the first time in a T20 World Cup, the run chase returned to the pavilion in single digits
Virat Kohli is considered the most dangerous batsman in world cricket during run chases, but this was the first time in the T20 World Cup when Kohli returned to the pavilion on a single digit score during a run chase. This is Kohli’s lowest score in an innings in the history of this tournament so far. Kohli has been out on a single digit score for the third time in the T20 World Cup. Earlier in 2012, Kohli was out after scoring just 2 runs in the match against South Africa, while in the match played against New Zealand in 2021, Kohli returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 runs.
Returned to single digit score for the third consecutive time against Ireland
Ireland has now become the first team to send Virat Kohli back to the pavilion on single digit scores three times in a row in T20 International. Before this match, Kohli had played 2 T20 International matches against the Irish team, in one of which he was out on a duck and in the other match he managed to score only 9 runs. Now all eyes are on Kohli’s match against Pakistan, against whom he has had a very good record so far in the history of this tournament.
