New Delhi: Virat Kohli is showing strong performance for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League 2024. However, despite this the team is not getting success. Meanwhile, questions are now being raised about his place in the T20 World Cup. Virat has scored 316 runs in 5 matches so far this season, but his strike rate this season has been 146.30, in which he has also scored one of the slowest centuries in the IPL. This is the reason why the debate is going on regarding his selection in the T20 World Cup team.
However, Glenn Maxwell, who plays with him in RCB, believes that Virat Kohli should not bat in front of his team during the T20 World Cup to be held in June this year. Recalling Kohli’s half-century in the 2016 T20 World Cup, Maxwell said, ‘I am laughing at those who are saying that he should not get a place in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.’
Maxwell remembered 2016 T20 World Cup
Maxwell recalled the 2016 T20 World Cup with Virat Kohli in one of his interviews. He said, ‘Virat Kohli is the best player I have played against. The innings he played against us during the 2016 T20 World Cup in Mohali is the best innings I have ever played against him. There is no need to tell what he can do to win the match. Maxwell said, ‘I hope that India will not select him for the T20 World Cup because it would be great for us not to play against them.’
Questions are being raised about Kohli
Let us tell you that Glenn Maxwell also expressed his views regarding the slow batting of Virat Kohli. He said, ‘It is not surprising because there are 1.5 billion people in India and I think half of them are incredible cricketers in this country. It is very difficult to make a place in the Indian team. You see India’s top T20 players playing in IPL 2024. They are all fantastic players and there should be pressure on every player.
