“It’s like going into a CBSE Maths exam” – Ravichandran Ashwin backs experienced Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to deliver in 2024 T20 World Cup

India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has backed the experienced duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to deliver the goods in the T20 World Cup. The two stalwarts will be the vital cogs in India’s T20 World Cup campaign. 

Virat Kohli was once again at his absolute best for RCB, scoring 741 runs in 15 innings at an average of 61.75 and a strike rate of 154.69. Kohli is currently the highest run-getter of the tournament and he is likely to get the Orange Cap award.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma was Mumbai Indians’ top-scorer with 417 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2024 as he scored his runs at an average of 32.08 and a strike rate of 150. Thus, both of them are in prime form and they are going to hold the key for India. 

Rohit and Virat also have all the experience under their belt at the top level and they will want to be at their best. 

Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube Channel, “It’s like going into a CBSE Maths exam where you necessarily haven’t seen the sums, but you know the formula. So, Virat and Rohit know what to expect there. They will be able to find the answers even if the conditions are not in their favor.”

Ashwin added it will be crucial for Indian batters to assess the West Indies conditions as run-scoring isn’t going to be easy as it was in the IPL.

“I feel like Virat Kohli is gonna be top in those conditions because of what happens in the West Indies, you need to see T20 cricket has gone so far that you can be skewed by what’s happened in the IPL.

“In conditions like the West Indies, you must be able to adapt, you must have the ability to say, ‘I’ve been there, I’ve done it, I’ve seen this.’ And, these are the answers.”

India will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5th.
