IND vs ENG: Netizens ask Virat Kohli to retire after another failure in T20 World Cup
Indian batter has managed 75 runs at a strike rate of 100 in competition so far
Indian veteran Virat Kohli had yet another horrible outing as he was dismissed for 9 in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England at Guyana's Providence Stadium.
The 35-year-old had failed to score a single fifty in seven innings he has played. He managed 75 runs at a strike rate of 100.
This type of decline in form is not associated with Kohli since he has over 1100 runs in the T20 World Cup while have won two Player of the Tournament awards.
