IND vs PAK: In a highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 match against Pakistan, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli failed to make an impact. He managed to score just 4 runs. After scoring only 1 run in the previous game against Ireland, Kohlis performance was under scrutiny. In the second over, facing a wide delivery from Naseem Shah, Kohli attempted a risky shot, which resulted in a simple catch for Usman Khan. As Kohli walked back to the pavilion visibly frustrated, cameras captured the disappointment of his wife Anushka Sharmas face, who was in the stands.Watch her reaction here:Anushka Sharma upset after Virat Kohli early dismissal. #INDvsPAK pic.twitter.com/QgKJP50KkI— Mufa Kohli (@MufaKohli) June 9, 2024Pakistans tactical decisionPakistans captain, Babar Azam, won the toss and chose to bowl first.

I would have opted to bowl first as well. Its crucial for us to understand how the conditions affect play and determine what a competitive score would be. The previous matches have provided us with valuable insights into these conditions. Weve discussed our strategy as a batting unit to achieve a solid score, which our bowlers can then defend.
