WATCH: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma lose wickets for rash shots in IND vs PAK match | T20 World Cup 2024
India lost both keys, Virat Kohli again Rohit Sharmacheap after Pakistan the captain Babar Azam opted to enter a high-octane match between their rivals at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday (June 9). Kohli was dismissed for just 4 runs from three balls, while captain Rohit went for 13 from 12 balls in the 2024 T20 World Cup clash.
Virat Kohli’s dismissal
Rain interrupted play after the first over, and Kohli arrived at the venue when play resumed. He started promisingly with a beautiful drive to a full length delivery from And Seem Shah by using boundary covers on the first ball he faced after the restart. However, Shah bowled a short, slow, wide ball in the third game, tempting Kohli to hit big.
Expecting a quick delivery, Kohli misjudged the pace and timing of the ball, resulting in a mistimed shot that went straight from the striker to the fielder. Usman Khan. The dismissal was the result of good planning by the Pakistan captain. Just two balls earlier, Babar had set the stage, removing the gully fielder when he pointed, which ultimately set the trap for Kohli’s dismissal. This is the second time Kohli has been dropped by Pakistan from the T20 World Cup.
