IND Vs USA T20 World Cup 2024: Virat Kohli’s bad form continues as he was once again inside the powerplay against the USA. The worrisome sign is that he was not even able to open his account this time.
It was a rare golden duck for Kohli who got out on the first delivery he faced. The man, Saurabh Netravalkar was on fire as he not only dismissed Kohli but also got the wicket of Rohit Sharma inside the Powerplay.
Kohli has not been able to touch the double-digit score in his last 3 innings. And this is the first time that he has been dismissed inside the PowerPlay three times in a row. Is it another dark phase or there is nothing to worry about?
IND Vs USA T20 World Cup 2024: Netravalkar On Fire
Wednesday belonged to Left-arm pacers as both Arshdeep Singh and Saurabh Netravalkar dismantled the opening partnerships of both teams. In the first inning, it was the Arshdeep show who took 4 wickets in his 4 overs.
Netravalkar accepted his challenge and replied even more fiercely by dismissing Virat Kohli on his first delivery. It was a typical Kohli dismissal where he edged the ball that was just outside the off stump.
The next ball to dismiss Rohit Sharma was a real beauty and completely deceived him. It was a sensational spell that left India in a lot of trouble as Rishabh Pant also departed right after the Powerplay.
Worrisome Sign?
Considering everything and every other match at Nassau County International Stadium so far, there is nothing to worry about. This ground has been a hellhole for the batsmen and it is the last match on this ground.
If this form of Kohli continues on other grounds as well, then we can panic and look for alternatives. But as of now, there is nothing to worry about.
