Rahul Dravid's Prediction About Virat Kohli: Indian batting legend Virat Kohli's struggle for runs in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 has sparked concerns, yet team India head coach Rahul Dravid remains steadfast in his support for the former India captain. In seven T20 WC matches for the Indian cricket team, Virat has managed only 75 runs. In the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal, his latest innings lasted for just 9 runs.
Virat Kohli is renowned for his ability to perform in high-pressure matches, with a history of impressive scores in T20 World Cup semifinals throughout his career. However, IND vs ENG semifinal clash marked the first instance where he faltered with the bat.

Despite Kohli's consistent low scores, Dravid sees promise in his recent performances and expects a potential match-winning innings in IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Final.
After a 10-year gap, India qualified for the T20 World Cup final with a resounding 68-run win over England. However, amidst this collective success, Virat Kohli's cheap dismissal further intensified discussions about his form.
"With Virat, playing high-risk cricket can sometimes backfire," Dravid said after IND vs ENG semifinal match. "He struck a good six today to set the tone, but unfortunately, the ball seamed a bit more. However, I love his intent and the way he’s approaching the innings. It sets a great example for the team to see him willing to take those risks."
With a touch of humor, coach Dravid offered, "I don’t want to jinx it, but I have a feeling there's a big one coming up. I love his attitude and commitment on the field – he deserves it."
All eyes will be on Virat Kohli when India taken on South Africa in IND vs SA T20 World Cup final on Saturday at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
