T20 WC 2024: Virat Kohli's Lean Form Gives Chances To Others, Says Batting Coach Rathour

Virat Kohli has been 바카라�challenged바카라� in the ongoing T20 World Cup but his lean run is allowing the less experienced players to step up and contribute to the team바카라�s cause, India batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Friday.  (More Cricket News | Full Coverage)

India outplayed Afghanistan at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown on Thursday to make a perfect start to their Super 8s campaign.

However, Kohli was tested once again in the powerplay and ended up with a run-a-ball 24, his first double digit score in the tournament.

바카라�I바카라�m not happy. I would love it if he gets going and scores more runs,바카라� Rathour said when asked about the team's unbeaten run in the event without Kohli바카라�s contribution.

바카라�But yeah, it is good when you are challenged at times. You know, the guys who are not getting too much of batting in India sometimes, they are the ones who put up scores today and our middle-order came to play. So, it was good to see,바카라� he said.

Rishabh Pant was impressive while Suryakumar Yadav took the game away from Afghanistan with a sublime fifty.

India will play Bangladesh in Antigua on Saturday. The squad has four spinners and considering the conditions in the Caribbean, it makes the team stronger.

바카라�We've always had depth as a team, I believe. But yeah, these conditions maybe suit us more because we can afford to play two or three spinners at times. So that I believe can be our best team. That is our strength.

바카라�It feels like바카라�somebody like Axar (Patel) playing at eight gives you a lot of confidence because he can bat and he's bowling really well at the moment. So, it does give you a lot of options,바카라� he said.

The former India opener also expected the conditions in the Caribbean to be much better than they were in New York where India played three games.

바카라�We already played in the worst possible conditions in New York. So, anything after that is feeling good only. So, I am expecting wickets to be better (here),바카라� said Rathour.

Bangladesh are coming into the game after a loss to Australia and are one of the easier teams in the tournament.

But Rathour said India will not leave anything to chance.

바카라�They're a good unit. They have a lot of guys who can spin the ball and they are good in certain conditions. And these conditions do suit them a little as a team I think because the wickets seem to have a bit of help for the spinners and they do have spinners in their team.

바카라�But again, in this format I think every team is a tough team. I don't believe any contest in T20 cricket is an easy contest,바카라� he added.
