Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has thrown his support behind Virat Kohli, the current Orange Cap holder in the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 2024.
Kohli has been leading the batting charge of Faf du Plessis and Co. in the T20 World Cup year. Ganguly asserted that Virat has the capability to hit a 40-ball century.
During the league stage of the IPL, Kohli’s strike rate came under scrutiny. However, he silenced critics with a 67-ball century against the Rajasthan Royals.
Ganguly believes Team India needs to play fearlessly in the upcoming T20 World Cup, especially given the extra focus on the IPL this year since it ends just before the World Cup.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) Director of Cricket also picked Kohli to team up with Rohit as his opening partner at the T20 World Cup.
Ganguly stressed the importance of six-hitting and highlighted the need for a balance of experience and youth in the team. He expressed confidence in India’s experienced players, emphasizing their exceptional performances over the years.
