"There could be some trouble if Kohli gets out early" - Aakash Chopra ahead of Team India's clash against South Africa on Sunday
Former India batter Aakash Chopra feels that the Men in Blue's batting unit might face trouble if Virat Kohli gets out early against South Africa.
Kohli has been in sensational form in T20 World Cup 2022 so far. His 82* and 62* against Pakistan and the Netherlands, respectively, played starring roles in Team India's victories.
Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Chopra analyzed Team India's batting unit ahead of the South Africa match and said:
"Virat Kohli is still unbeaten in the tournament, but a failure is due. There could be some trouble if Kohli gets out early. Rohit Sharma has looked scratchy and KL Rahul hasn't scored runs till now."
He added:
"For Suryakumar Yadav, it won't be easy for him to play against rapid pace on that surface. Also, the kind of shots that he plays, the ground is too big for that."
Will Kohli continue his good form on Sunday? Sound off in the comments section.
