“I think Virat Kohli will perform well in this tournament and India will definitely reach the final to become the champion. Dhoni has come in the dressing room, so I think Virat will perform even better,” the former cricketer told ANI.
Speaking about the strong points of team India, Shukla said, “It’ll be a competitive match. India will have an advantage as we have Jadeja, Varun Chakravarthy, Ashwin, Bumrah, and Shami. India’s bowling combination is better (than Pakistan), batting is good anyway. So, it’ll be a good match.”
- While Virat Kohli is a fiery character, Dhoni is completely the opposite.
- Dhoni is expected to impart his calming influence on Virat Kohli’s aggression. He is expected to once again become India’s talisman off-pitch after guiding CSK’s dad’s army to record 4th trophy.
- Kohli will be looking to pick Dhoni’s brain in his last assignment as captain in T20 World Cup
- The 32-year-old has a bright opportunity to win his first ICC title under his leadership. The closest he got was in ICC WTC Final against New Zealand.
