Virat Kohli1 extends torrid run at T20 World Cup, equals Ashish Nehra’s unwanted feat with 2nd duck in Super 8 tie vs AUS
Virat Kohli1 matched Ashish Nehra’s unwanted feat in the Super 8 T20 World Cup clash between India and Australia.
Before meeting Australia in the rematch of the ICC World Cup 2023 final on Monday, Virat Kohli played a stellar knock against the former champions when both teams last faced off at the T20 World Cup. Kohli’s majestic knock of 82 powered Team India to the semi-finals of the World Cup at the time. The Kohli show also dumped Australia out of the 2016 T20 World Cup. While many expected Kohli to repeat his 2016 heroics against Australia, pace ace Josh Hazlewood had other ideas.
Handing India its first setback in the Super 8 clash at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, pace ace Hazlewood silenced the crowd with Kohli’s jackpot wicket. Hazlewood got the better of Kohli in the second over as the former India skipper failed to trouble the scores. The two-time leading run-getter of the T20 World Cup recorded his second duck of the 2024 edition. Interestingly, run-machine Kohli has matched an unwanted feat set by former India pacer Ashish Nehra at the T20 World Cup.
Virat Kohli1 equals Ashish Nehra’s unwanted feat
Kohli recorded a five-ball duck in Australia’s must-win clash with India at the T20 World Cup. The 35-year-old notched up his first-ever golden duck at the T20 World Cup during India’s match against the United States of America (USA). Only Kohli and Nehra have bagged a brace of ducks in a single edition of the T20 World Cup. Former India pacer Nehra had two ducks to his name in the 2010 edition of the T20 World Cup.
Kohli continues to struggle as opener at T20 World Cup 2024
Roped in as an opener for the ICC event, veteran batter Kohli has only scored 66 runs in six innings for the 2007 winners at the T20 World Cup. Averaging 11.00 and a strike rate of 100, Kohli’s highest score in the T20 World Cup was 37 (28) against Bangladesh. The batting icon failed to register a single double-digit score in the group stage of the T20 World Cup co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies.
T20 World Cup, Afghanistan vs South Africa SF 1: Fantasy XI Prediction, teams, captain, toss and venue analysis
South Africa has the added pressure of the ‘chokers’ tag to deal with in the semis against a fired-up Afghanistan unit.
Afghanistan have been the talking point of this edition of the T20 World Cup with their spirited performance in the tournament. With sheer grit, Afghanistan have managed to reach their first ever semifinals in a World Cup. On the other hand, South Africa would be under pressure and would aim to break out of the ‘chokers’ reputation that has become a baggage and cricket folklore. The semifinal 1 in Trinidad promises to be a thriller.
Ravindra Jadeja continues to disappoint. The India all-rounder cannot get going this T20 World Cup, and fans are losing their patience. Jadeja has featured in all matches for India this tournament and even though he has batted just thrice, scores of 0, 7 and 9 not out aren’t the most overwhelming returns. Furthermore, that he has picked just one wicket raises the question if Jadeja even warrants a place in India’s T20I set-up. Besides, to add to his woes. Jadeja even put down a catch against Australia last evening. It didn’t prove costly as the game was put beyond conclusion by then, but raises the question: Is Jadeja’s T20 prowess on the wane?
Well, Sunil Gavaskar surely doesn’t think so. The legendary India captain has backed the under-fire ‘Rockstar’ of Indian cricket despite his repeated failures. In fact, Gavaskar feels all the chatter around Jadeja and his lack of form is unnecessary and questioned those doubting Jadeja’s place in India’s Playing XI.
“I don’t think we should even think about questioning (Jadeja). The problem with India and Indian fans is, two bad games and you go ‘what to do with him, what to do with him?’ You know that is the worry. Nobody who asks these questions thinks about their own professions, whether they have made 2 errors and whether people are questioning their place in their own profession, whichever profession they are in. This is just simply a good topic for television, you don’t question Jadeja’s place in the playing XI. He’s a rock star,” said Gavaskar on Star Sports.
Mandhana maintained her place in the top 10 after a stellar outing against South Africa, scoring 343 runs in the three-match series.
South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt continued her rise towards top spot, jumping three places to second on the back of her superb recent run against India and now trails No.1 ranked batter Nat Sciver-Brunt of England by just 16 rating points.
While South Africa lost the three-match series against India 0-3, Wolvaardt stood out for her side with the bat and the brilliant 135 not out in the second game of the series in Bengaluru was a clear highlight.
Wolvaardt backed up that knock with a handy 65 in the final match of the series and closed in on Sciver-Brunt at the top of the ODI batter rankings as a result.
Much to the delight of Team India fans, who were heartbroken by Pat Cummins’ Australian side lifting the ICC World Cup on Indian soil last year, the Men from Down Under suffered an early exit at the T20 World T20 on Tuesday. Outplayed by Rashid Khan’s Afghanistan in the Super 8 stage of the ICC event, Cummins-starrer Australia recorded another heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Rohit Sharma’s Team India in their final Group 1 fixture yesterday.
Tasked to chase down a record target of 206 against India, Australia managed to muster 181-7 in 20 overs at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium. Cummins, who scored 11* off 7 balls, was heading back to the pavilion when the Australian pacer was called out by a fan in the stands. “Hey Pat! That’s for 2023 , that’s a revenge for 2023, remember Ahmedabad? And you going home tomorrow,” the fan sledged the Aussie pacer after India’s epic win over the former world champions in the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup.
Leading India from the front, skipper Rohit played a sublime knock of 92 as the 2007 winners outclassed Australia by 20 runs. While Virat Kohli recorded a five-ball duck, skipper Rohit shattered multiple records with his captain’s knock in just 41 balls. Hammering seven fours and record eight sixes, Rohit sealed India’s top spot in the final Group 1 standings of the T20 World Cup.
Skipper Rohit smashed four sixes in Mitchell Starc’s 29-run over in the powerplay. The Indian skipper was also named the Player of the Match for his batting masterclass. Rohit and Co. will meet defending champions England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup. A day after India’s win over Australia, Afghanistan punched its semi-final tickets with a thrilling win over Bangladesh. Superstar Rashid guided Afghanistan to its maiden T20 World Cup semifinal with the eight-run win over Bangladesh in the rain-hit Super 8 match. Afghanistan will face South Africa in the first semi-final on Wednesday.
