NEW YORK: Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer is confident that charismatic batsman Virat Kohli will showcase his true potential and brilliance in the crucial stages of the Men's T20 World Cup. This belief comes despite Kohli's underwhelming performance in the New York leg of India's campaign, where he scored a mere five runs in three innings.
Kohli entered the tournament on a high note, having been the top run-scorer in IPL 2024 with an impressive 741 runs in 15 matches while opening the batting for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, in the T20 World Cup, he has struggled on challenging pitches, scoring 1, 4, and 0 in India's first three Group A games at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
