Kohli's T20 World Cup Woes Continue with Single-Digit Dismissal in Semi-Final

Virat Kohli's disappointing run in the T20 World Cup continued in the semi-final against England, as the star batter was dismissed for a mere 9 runs. This marked yet another single-digit dismissal for Kohli in the tournament, leaving fans and experts alike questioning his form.

Kohli's struggles in the knockout stages of the T20 World Cup stand in stark contrast to his impressive record in the group stages. In previous editions of the tournament, Kohli has consistently delivered match-winning performances in the semi-finals. However, in this year's edition, he has failed to replicate his past heroics.

In 2014, Kohli played a pivotal role in India's victory over South Africa, scoring an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls. Two years later, he once again showcased his brilliance with an explosive 89 not out off 47 balls against the West Indies, although India ultimately fell short in that match.

In the 2022 semi-final against England, Kohli managed only 50 runs off 40 balls, a valiant effort but not enough to secure the win. Despite these setbacks, Kohli's contributions in these critical matches have left an indelible mark on T20 World Cup history.

Kohli's dismissal against England came in the third over of India's innings. He pulled Reece Topley for six but two balls later, the left-arm paceman bowled him as he knocked over the leg stump. Kohli has now scored just 75 runs in seven innings this tournament at an average of 10.71.

The Indian team will be hoping that Kohli can rediscover his form in the upcoming matches. With the T20 World Cup final just around the corner, India will need their star batter to step up and deliver a match-winning performance.
