Experts hope In IPL 2024, Virat Kohli replicates his 2016 form; flag concerns for the star at Chepauk
Former spinner of Indian cricket team Harbhajan Singh wants Virat Kohli to get back to his form from 2016 in the IPL 2024. The ex-CSK star opines that the team will go forward if the star batter starts amassing runs. IPL 2024 is all set to kick off on March 22, with CSK taking on RCB in Chennai.
Harbhajan wants Kohli to replicate his form from the IPL 2016. The former Indian skipper left a trailblazing record in that edition, amassing 973 runs, including four centuries and seven fifties.
Bhaji says, “Well, it’s important for him to have a season like 2016, because if Virat Kohli goes on to score runs for them, it means the team will go forward. But I don’t know if they go on to win the cup or not, but with the brilliant individuals they have in their team—Virat Kohli, Maxwell, Green, and a few more like Patidar—I believe they have a lot of good batting, and everyone wants Virat Kohli to make that comeback from 2016 and score heavily at the top. If that happens, they will have a great chance to go forward.”
Hayden says, “Virat enjoys a great record against the Chennai Super Kings, but since 2021 in the power play, MS Dhoni has done something different. In three out of the five innings, he’s gotten out on power plays. Well, one thing is certain: it is a blockbuster showdown.”
