London: India has decided to include Virat Kohli in the squad for the T20 World Cup.

According to a Dawn TV report, 35-year-old star batsman Virat Kohli will join the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in June, before there were concerns over his form and strike rate in the shorter format.

Virat Kohli is playing as an opener for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the ongoing Indian Premier League and has scored a tournament-high 361 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 147.
Virat Kohli has played most of his career at No. 3 but has an impressive record as an opener in international cricket, scoring 400 runs at an average of 57 in nine matches.

Virat Kohli scored 122 runs against Afghanistan in T20 World Cup 2021 which is also the highest individual score by any Indian batsman in this format.

Suriya Kumar Yadav is likely to get Kohli’s No. 3 position in the Indian team for the mega event, while Ranko Singh, Shivam Dubey, Ryan Prag, and Shibman Gill are also likely to be included in the Indian squad.

Remember that India is in Group A for the T20 World Cup 2024 along with Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and the USA.
