‘Abhi Uska Time Jane Ka Nahi Hai’ – Ex-Pakistan Cricketer Supports Virat Kohli Amid T20 World Cup 2024 Exclusion Reports

There are reports stating that Virat Kohli is likely to be dropped from India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad

In a show of support, former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria throws his weight behind Virat Kohli amidst swirling rumours of his absence from the upcoming T20 World Cup.

According to Danish Kaneria, it’s unthinkable for management to overlook Virat Kohli, given his exceptional performances in previous T20 World Cups.

Earlier, there have been reports from The Telegraph stating that Virat Kohli is likely to be dropped from India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad. They believe that the slow wickets in the USA and West Indies, where the tournament is said to be held, will not suit Virat Kohli’s gameplay.

“How can you ignore him (Virat). He should be in India’s squad. He has been scoring runs, it is not a time to look beyond Kohli, it is a time to have Kohli in your squad, who can also groom youngsters. India is doing pretty good and Kohli should be in India’s squad, there is no doubt about it,” the former Pakistan cricketer told IANS.

Kohli played his last T20I series against Afghanistan in January, where he scored 29 and 0 in two matches. Since then, he has been out of action, missing the five-match Test series against England as he was on leave after becoming a father for the second time.
