“Selectors Don’t Go By Social Media Memes”: BCCI Official Clarifies Stand on Virat Kohli’s Spot in T20 World Cup Squad

Virat Kohli’s consistent performance in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), marked by two consecutive fifties in three matches, has significantly boosted his prospects for securing a spot in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

“BCCI Official: Kohli’s Form Matters, Not Social Media Memes for T20 World Cup”

Virat Kohli, is currently dominating the batting charts in IPL 2024, having amassed an impressive tally of 181 runs in three matches. While his strike rate stands at 141.4, which might not be considered exceptional, a BCCI official remains optimistic about Kohli’s ability to elevate it further, considering his current form and vast experience in the game.

Leading up to the IPL 2024 season, there were widespread speculations regarding Virat’s prospects of securing a spot in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup scheduled later this year. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar was reportedly keeping a close watch on the performance of the former Indian captain, analyzing his gameplay and consistency as a pivotal factor in the selection process.

Virat’s back-to-back half-centuries in two out of three matches in the IPL have notably strengthened his chances for consideration in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Despite Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) facing defeat in two matches, Virat’s batting form has sparked discussions among cricket enthusiasts. While some are scrutinizing his strike rate, others are lauding his innings. Memes poking fun at his perceived “less-than-impressive” strike rate have also been circulating widely on social media platforms.

In an interview with IANS, a BCCI official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, remarked that Virat, despite returning from a prolonged break, is currently performing well on the field. The official further emphasized that the selection process for the national team is not influenced by social media memes, highlighting the importance of evaluating players based on their on-field contributions and consistency.

It’s just the start of the league, and Virat has begun well. He’ll surely enhance his strike rate in the upcoming matches. Personally, I believe he’ll secure his spot in the World Cup squad. Selectors don’t base their decisions on social media memes. Cricket is played on the field, not on social media platforms,” the official emphasized.

The T20 World Cup 2024 is set to commence from June 1 in West Indies and USA, immediately following the culmination of the IPL 2024 season. Team India finds itself in Group A, where it will contend against Pakistan.
