Team India kickstart their 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup against Ireland, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 5, as Rohit Sharma aims to win his first ICC trophy as captain.
The on-field relationship between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli has been a much talked-about topic among both fans and experts. The spat between the two cricketers during the IPL 2024 match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru created headlines and every cricket fan was eager to know what one felt about the other. However, the controversy was put to rest in 2024 as Gambhir and Kohli 'hugged it out' during the IPL. In a recent interview, Gambhir opened up about his relation with Kohli and said that he will not be giving any 'masala' to the public.
Virat Kohli is the global face of Indian cricket and will be ready to take on the new challenge that the 2024 T20 World Cup will bring with it. As part of the build up to the upcoming competition, Kohli talked about how he felt before making his World Cup debut against Bangladesh in the 2011 World Cup. The star Indian batter certainly made his debut in style as he stitched on a 203-run partnership with Virender Sehwag on his way to becoming the first and only Indian to score a century on his World Cup debut. He scored an unbeaten 100 in 83 deliveries and took Team India's score to 370 which ultimately led to a 87 run victory.
Former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull has revealed that he has been receiving death threats for his criticism of India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli. While the cricketer-turned-commentator has often labelled Kohli as the greatest batter of his generation, he also doesn't shy away from criticising him whenever he needs to. As an observer of the game, Doull was one of several former players who had criticised Kohli for his batting strike rate during the initial phase of IPL 2024.
Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not repeat their mistakes from the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal match against England where they were defeated by 10 wickets. In his column for Hindustan Times, Manjrekar said that India could only manage to score 168 runs against England due to the slow batting by the top-order batters. However, he added that both Virat and Rohit have evolved as T20 batters and they will not make the same mistakes in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. India start their campaign against Ireland on June 5.
After two months of intense competitive cricket under night lights, the Indian cricket team, sans Virat Kohli, began its preparations for the T20 World Cup with a morning training session here, keeping in mind the 10.30am starts for all its preliminary games. Kohli took a break for personal work after RCB's IPL ouster and in all likelihood, he will join the squad by Friday. But it is not clear if he would be able to take part in the only warm-up game against Bangladesh on Saturday after a long flight.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) struggled to impose themselves in the first half of the Indian Premier 2024 season, suffering 7 losses in the first 8 games they played. Though Virat Kohli was the only player in the team scoring runs consistently, he too came in the line of fire, as critics questioned his strike-rate and intent en route to the big scores he managed to put on the board. In the second-half of the season, however, Kohli didn't just improve his strike-rate, he looked to play with a lot more intent. When Dinesh Karthik was asked about the criticism Virat faced, he thanked 'experts' for spurring the RCB batter on by targeting him.
Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will look to end India's global title drought as the star duo step out for what is likely to be their final World Cup appearance. Rohit, 37, and Kohli, 35, have long been the twin torchbearers for the hopes of their cricket-mad nation, which last saw a major title triumph in the 2013 Champions Trophy. India made the final of last year's ODI World Cup at home but lost to Australia in front of a crestfallen packed house at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
