A video surfaced on the internet where Virat could be seen speaking to skipper Rohit about Rishabh Pant's dismissal. Kohli looked displeased seeing Pant repeat the same mistakes in the middle and even had a chat the India stumper as he arrived in the Indian dugout.

Star India batter Virat Kohli heaped praises on American basketball legend Michael Jordan, recalling how he used to watch his matches in the National Basketball Association (NBA) league and was inspired by his on-court intensity and win-at-all-costs attitude. Virat is currently participating in the ICC T20 World Cup, which is being hosted by West Indies and the USA. Speaking in a video shared by the US Consulate General in Mumbai on their official Instagram, Virat recalled how he used to catch up with NBA Basketball games as a youngster when he used to go for his cricket practice, and fell in love with Jordan's style of play and personality. Besides Jordan, he expressed his admiration for late basketball icon Kobe Bryant as well.
Ahead of the second semifinal clash between India and England in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup, former England cricketer Paul Collingwood said that he does not see Men in Blue losing this time, unlike the 2022 edition semifinal, pointing out that England will have to do "something extraordinary" to beat them. It will be a rematch of the semifinal from the 2022 edition of the tournament as a red-hot Team India will meet England in the second semifinal of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup at Guyana on Thursday. The last time these two nations faced off in a Men's T20 World Cup semi-final was just 19 months ago in Adelaide, when a remarkable opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales saw England cruise to 10 wicket win that forced a complete rethink in India's T20 strategy and move away from more established superstars to younger blood, from conservatism to aggression.

However, after Starc did get Rohit out, Star Sports put up a graphic about Rohit's dismissals against left-arm pacers, which left Gavaskar annoyed.
