India could not perform well in the Asia Cup 2022. But Virat showed that he has once again returned to form by scoring a century against Afghanistan. After that Virat performed brilliantly against Australia and now South Africa. But now with the World Cup approaching, the team management might have decided to rest Virat for the third T20I so that he doesn’t get stressed any more. Also, since Shreyas Iyer is the reserve player in the World Cup squad, it is seen that he has been given a chance to replace Virat in the third T20 to see his form.
Big record for Virat
Virat, who returned to form after a century in the Asia Cup, has now started making record after record. In the second T20 match against South Africa in Guwahati, Virat played a powerful innings of 049 not out. During this innings, Virat has made a big record. Virat has crossed the distance of 11,000 runs in T20 cricket. Virat Kohli has become the first Indian player to do such a feat. In the second T20, Virat scored an unbeaten 49 off 28 balls at a strike rate of 175. It included seven fours and a six.
