Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had a good start in the T20 World Cup final. Both hit as expected. But Rohit Sharma lost his wicket in the second over and the pressure on Team India was clearly visible before this match. Because in the last seven matches, Virat Kohli did not score the expected runs. Twice he was on the verge of getting out on zero. Due to this, the tension was clearly visible on Virat Kohli’s face. After Rohit Sharma took the strike, Virat Kohli sat down holding the bat at the non-strike end. Rohit Sharma took a run on the first ball of Marco Johnson and gave the strike to Virat.
Virat Kohli made his intentions clear by hitting a four on the first ball of Jensen. After this, he once again showed that he is a big match player by hitting a tremendous four on the second ball. He broke the sequence of single runs by taking two runs on the third ball. Rohit Sharma also started well in the second over. But he missed the shot and missed the wicket. After this, Rishabh Pant, who came to bat, could not do anything special. His absurd guess did not work. Suryakumar Yadav also could not do anything special. So all the responsibility has come on Virat Kohli.
