In a video shared by the ICC, Smith expressed his confidence in Kohli’s form and ability to score big runs in the ongoing mega event.

“My top run-getter for this tournament will be Virat Kohli. He is coming off a terrific IPL and he is bringing in some great form and I think he will be the leading run-getter,” said Smith in a video shared by the ICC.

Impact in ICC events

Kohli is no stranger to performing on the big stage. The Indian batting maestro has consistently delivered in ICC events, showcasing his exceptional skill and mental toughness.

Kohli’s performances in past tournaments have often been the cornerstone of India’s success, and his leadership and experience are invaluable assets to the team.

Expectations in the T20 World Cup 2024

Coming off a stellar performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, where he scored 741 runs in 15 matches to finish as the tournament’s top scorer, Kohli is in sublime form. His IPL exploits have boosted India’s chances of lifting the T20 World Cup trophy this year. At 35, Kohli continues to defy age with his fitness and hunger for runs. Fans and experts alike are looking forward to seeing him dominate the batting charts and lead India to glory in the T20 World Cup 2024.
