Syed Kirmani Believes That Virat Kohli Should Be In India's T20 World Cup Squad, Could Be A Game-Changer

Syed Kirmani, a former wicketkeeper for India, thinks Virat Kohli belongs to be in the team for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and has the potential to be a game-changer in the tournament this year.

Kirmani reckons that Virat Kohli should be a positive sign in India’s squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

One of Kohli’s toughest phases of his career is currently ongoing. In the just-finished ODI series, the star hitter only scored 12 runs in 2 T20Is and 33 runs in 2 ODIs. For the highly awaited Birmingham Test, Kohli returned from a sabbatical, but the star batsman only scored 31 runs over two innings because his century drought had now lasted more than two years.
