IND vs PAK, T20 World Cup 2024: Virat Kohli Dismissed for the Second Time

In a thrilling encounter at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, India faced arch-rivals Pakistan in the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 match. Former Indian captain Virat Kohli was once again dismissed for under par, marking his second dismissal in the tournament.

Kohli, who was in good form leading up to the World Cup, fell prey to Pakistan’s left-arm spinner Shadab Khan in the 12th over. The delivery was a flatter and quicker one that lured Kohli into a drive that landed straight into the hands of fielder at point.

This dismissal comes after Kohli’s poor showing in India’s opening match against Afghanistan, where he was dismissed for just 18 runs. The star batsman has been under pressure to perform at the World Cup, especially after his recent struggles in international cricket.

Kohli’s dismissal left India reeling at 68-3 in the chase of Pakistan’s imposing 160-run target. The Indian innings never really recovered, and they eventually lost by 10 wickets, marking a disappointing start to their World Cup campaign.

Virat Kohli’s dismissal for the second time in the tournament has raised concerns about his form and his ability to lead India to success at the T20 World Cup 2024. The Indian team will need to rally around and find a way to get their star player back in form if they want to have any chance of winning the trophy.
