Hayden expects brief- of- runs Kohli to ' work out what to do' in the Caribbean

On Jasprit Bumrah, Ian Bishop states," He has developed variants and is better than most bowlers at using his variations."

Matthew Hayden believes Virat Kohli's knowledge of how to assess areas and adjust to the elements in the Caribbean, where India perform at three different locations in the Super Eight, is more important than his run-rate record at the T20 World Cup 2024.

In his three pitches in the group stage, Kohli has so far produced ratings of 1 for 4 and 0 for the party. Nevertheless, his form prior to that was wonderful- he was the leading operate- getter at IPL 2024 with 741 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 154.69, his highest in an IPL season.

" Kohli in any circumstances is a globe- group batter", Hayden said on Star Sports Press Room. " These]Caribbean ] are venues where you have to construct an innings and think about the kind of realistic totals that are possible in these different venues.

" Outside of St Lucia, line scores are in the selection of 160- 170 and Virat, with all his knowledge, will be able to function out what to do, like hitting roll towards the lee side, depending on how important it is.

" Look, problems in the USA were extremely tough, no one likes that. Anyone wants to see these great leaders playing easily. However, this is not always going to be the case. That's why practice counts".

Even though groups have turned to him in the first two T20s, Hayden was strong in his judgment that starting alongside Rohit Sharma would be his best move.

" I said it during the Cricket as also, if Kohli was going to be in the team, he needs to open", Hayden said. " Virat at three, I do n't think we'll get the best out of him. You ca n't just turn up and blast 250 on these wickets, you need thinking cricketers.

He must maintain a high strike price. We've clearly seen a pattern come here at the World Cup where those six overs]powerplay], you have to be in front of the sport. It's very difficult to catch up.

" You look up at David Warner's functionality this World Cup- in Barbados on a slow innings, he made 30- odd]39 in 16 balloons vs England]. It was a truly well- constructed thirty. Depending on your yardstick, it depends. Are you looking at 100s, 50s, hit level?

" The way Warner came out on a pretty]tough ] wicket and blew the game away, that's what Kohli is going to be challenged with in the Caribbean. Simply leave him only. He will explain why the American selection committees backed him in that location.

But Hayden even had a word of caution for Kohli.

" He needs to maintain to have a great affect rate", Hayden said. " We've clearly seen a pattern come here at the World Cup where those six overs]powerplay], you have to be in front of the sport. It's very hard to catch up. If you're looking at the back- half of the match, it's problem. In the first ten, you may be docile.

Bishop on Bumrah:' This man is a millennial bowling '

In contrast to Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah has never had a memorable game. After missing the 2022 release in Australia because of a returning injury, Bumrah has made a huge mark at this T20 World Cup with backwards- to- up Player- of- the- Match awards against Ireland and Pakistan.

Against Pakistan, in certain, his late magic with the sport on a razor's edge was unique. He opened the sport by dismissing Mohammad Rizwan and then sending Iftikhar Ahmed off the last game in the final over with a 40 off 36. Humrah came in with 3 for 14 overall.

Due to both what he can do and his reputation, Ian Bishop thinks groups are now less inclined to strike Bumrah.

" Jasprit is intelligent, a good speaker who thinks about the game", Bishop said. " It starts from the base, but he has also developed versions and knows better than most batsmen when to use his versions.

You can tell that when I go for a wicket, I sometimes bowl my yorker at the stumps, sometimes I also bowl a vast yorker, sometimes I also evaluate the situation and then play my slower ball on the pitch or employ my bouncer. In addition to that, he has different materials.

" He has a special activity where the game gets on to you a lot quicker than pitchers anticipate, the whole toss]that got Iftikhar, for example ] is because of that. They occasionally get on to you, but they do n't get smashed. Of course, when you develop that reputation … when I bowled with Curtly Ambrose, Matthew] Hayden ] never put a foot wrong against Curtly because of his reputation, but he'd look to smash me. This man is a generational spinner".
