Virat Kohli to Score Century in T20 WC FINAL vs South Africa? Coach Rahul Dravid’s BIG Prediction
Claiming that he does not want to jinx anything, Dravid went on to lavish praise on Kohli's intent.
Guyana: While Rohit Sharma-led Team India has not out a foot wrong in the ongoing T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli’s form has been a big worry. Ahead of the much-awaited T20 WC final versus South Africa, India coach Rahul Dravid reckons Kohli will score a big one. Claiming that he does not want to jinx anything, Dravid went on to lavish praise on Kohli’s intent.
Rahul Dravid after the 68-run win over England in the semi-final said: “Virat Kohli sets the example for the team. He is showing great intent from the first ball. I love his mindset. I am not jinxing but I think something big is coming up in the Final (smiles)”.
Meanwhile, Kohli’s woes with the bat continued as he could only score nine off nine balls.
Following the 68-run win against England in Guyana on Thursday, Rohit Sharma was asked about Kohli’s form at the post-match presentation. Hailing Kohli as a quality player, Rohit said Kohli would fire in the final.
“He’s a quality player. Any player can go through that. We do understand his class and his importance in all these big games. Form is never a problem because when you’ve played cricket for 15 years, it isn’t a problem. He is looking good, the intent is there. He’s probably saving for the finals,” Rohit told Michael Atherton in the post-match interview.
Batting first, India rode on knocks from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav to post 171/7 in 20 overs. In reply, England succumbed to the spin-twins of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel as the duo shared six wickets between them. In the end, England were all out for 103 in 16.4 overs.
