Now the news is hot in the Indian media that Virat Kohli will not be a part of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup to be held jointly in America and West Indies in the month of June.

“The national selectors and team management are set to take some tough decisions ahead of the tournament as India have not won an ICC trophy since 2013 and Rohit Sharma’s team last year,” The Telegraph quoted sources as saying. She lost in the final of the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup.
According to this report, Kohli’s impressive performance in the IPL may force the selectors to change their plans as the national selectors feel that he has not been able to meet the needs of the team in the shortest format.
It should be noted that during the Rajkot Test, Board Secretary Jay Shah had confirmed Rohit’s captaincy for the World Cup, but he remained silent on Kohli.
“We will discuss Virat’s role at the appropriate time,” Jay Shah said.
Kohli scored the most runs in the World Cup
Virat Kohli has been a reliable player for the Indian team in all three formats of the game but in the T20 this year he was selected for the series against Afghanistan after a gap of 14 months. It is different now that after the 2022 World Cup, he said that he is not available.
In the two matches he played against Afghanistan, he did not score any significant scores. It is being said that the slow pitches of the West Indies and America will not suit his game well, while players like Surya Kumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma and Shiv Dubey are constantly knocking for the position. .
However, Virat Kohli scored the most 765 runs in the ODI World Cup held last year, which included three centuries and six half-centuries.
He was followed by Rohit Sharma’s 597 runs and South African wicketkeeper batsman de Kock’s 594 runs.
Earlier, the way Virat Kohli gradually left the captaincy of all three formats in the Indian team, it seems that all is not well with the management.
Also, India’s series win against England has shown that Kohli is no longer indispensable to the team. Although there is always room for him in the team based on his form, he is gradually falling away.

The new law of ‘stop clock’ in cricket, which can result in a penalty of five runs for continuous violation
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has introduced a new law of ‘stop clock’ in white ball (T20 and ODI) matches which will start from the T20 World Cup in June this year.
From June 1, the ICC Board has made this stop-clock mandatory in ODIs and T20I matches between all full member teams. It will also include the Men’s T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies.
The special feature of this clock is that at the end of the over, the fielding team has to start a new over within 60 seconds. If they fail to do so three times, the batting team will be awarded five runs.
The ICC has also confirmed that the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup will have reserve days.
A match in the group and super eight stages will be possible only if both teams get at least five overs. However, a minimum of 10 overs per team will be required in semi-finals and finals.
What is the new stop clock law?
Stop clock means an electronic clock installed in the ground that will count from zero to 60. The third umpire will decide when to start the clock.
- Each team will have to start a new over before the count of 60 is complete.
- Last December, the law was tested in one ODI and five T20Is against England and the West Indies.
- The ICC said that 20 minutes were saved in one ODI match during the trial due to this law.
- The fielding team will be given two warnings for not starting the over on time, but if they are still late in the next over, the batsmen will be awarded five runs.
- Once started, the watch may be canceled or terminated for a number of reasons.
When the new batter comes to the crease before the end of one over and the start of the next when the drinks are broken when the umpire gives medical aid to a fielder or batter on the field Time is wasted in a situation in which the fielding team has no control.
