T20 World Cup: Just Wait And Watch, He Will Perform, Says Irfan Pathan On Virat Kohli
T20 World Cup: As India gear up for their first Super Eight stage game in the T20 World Cup 2024 against Afghanistan on Thursday in Barbados, the spotlight is firmly on the team's batting form, particularly that of former captain Virat Kohli. The New York group stage saw Indian batters struggle on tricky pitches, with Kohli managing only single-digit scores in all three matches. Yet, former cricketer Irfan Pathan remains unperturbed.
Speaking on Star Sports, Pathan exuded confidence in Kohli’s ability to rise to the occasion. "He knows how to stand up in big matches, isn't he? That's what makes him really, really special," Pathan asserted.
"He's a special player and I'm sure he's going to put his hand up and say OK, I'm going to do this for Team India. When the time comes, especially in the big matches, we have always seen Virat Kohli perform. Just wait and watch, the slog sweep will come out now. He will definitely use those shots because, look, those conditions in New York were challenging. But now things will be different, and you'll see a real Virat Kohli coming to the fore."
