Watch: Unseen Video Of Dejected Virat Kohli After Cricket World Cup 2023 Final Loss Goes Viral

The unbeaten run included a win over every other competing side in the tournament and ahead of the summit clash, India were considered to be favourites.

Cricketers To Watch Out For In 2024? India Star Features In England Great's Picks

Former England captain Nasser Hussain picked an Indian superstar and former Pakistan skipper as the ones who will have a great 2024. In a video posted by the International Cricket Council (ICC), Nasser revealed his picks to be Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. "My first one is a megastar and there is no doubt about it. Virat Kohli. Obviously, he had a fantastic 2023 and World Cup. Amid all the records he broke and the attention, we did not focus on how well he was batting. Technically, I have never seen Virat bat as well like that. The sound of the bat, that innings against Sri Lanka in Mumbai, I can name about five innings where he was getting in a good position. That is a good sign for Virat, India and Virat fans. It means that he is in a good mental space and his game is in good order," said Hussain in the video.
