Virat Kohli had given India an important innings win against Pakistan in the very first match of 2022. Given that innings, many veterans had said that no one but Kohli could have done it. But as per media reports, Virat Kohli might opt out of the 2024 T20 World Cup to be played in West Indies and America and Team India might give a chance to Ishan Kishan at number three.
Ishan Kishan is known for his explosive batting, which may give him a chance at number three in the T20 World Cup instead of Virat Kohli. According to the report by ‘Dainik Jagran’, BCCI and selectors want a number three player in the T20 tournament who can dominate the opposition bowlers right from the start. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Virat Kohli actually gets dropped or not. The report also said that Virat Kohli’s selection for the T20 World Cup 2024 will also depend on how he performs in the IPL 2024 held before it.
Talking about Ishan Kishan, he has played 32 T20 International matches in his career so far. In 32 innings of these games he scored 796 runs at an average of 25.67 and an average of 124.37. On the other hand, Virat Kohli is the top run-scorer in T20 International as he scored 4008 runs in 107 innings of 115 matches of this format.
On the other hand, media reports claim that BCCI wants Rohit Sharma to captain Team India in the ICC tournament in 2024. However, no official information has been released about any of these things yet.
