Indian star batter Virat Kohli’s poor form continued in the T20 World Cup 2024 second semifinal as the former captain could only score 9 runs in 9 balls. On Thursday, June 27, India were up against England for the second seminal clash of the tournament at the Providence Stadium, Guyana. In the game, England skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and invited the rivals to bat first.
India’s talismanic batter Kohli, who faced a major slump in his performance during the tournament, opened the game with skipper Rohit. After a series of below-par performances in the season, Kohli was expected to come up with a powerful knock. However, the 35-year-old failed to make a mark and was forced to walk back after a small score of nine runs off nine deliveries.
In the previous six games in the ninth edition of the ICC mega event, Kohli scored only 66 runs which includes two ducks. Kohli’s out-of-form performance left fans disappointed and frustrated, sparking a meme fest on social media. Here’s how India fans reacted:
As of writing, the game got interrupted due to a downpour in Guyana, and India had scored 65 runs for two wickets. Rohit Sharma was batting at 37* off 26 and Suryakumar Yadav was at 13* off 7 balls.
