In a major move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed Virat Kohli’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Amidst ongoing debates fueled by Kohli’s recent performance, including a notably slow century in the Indian Premier League (IPL), there was widespread speculation about his role in the upcoming World Cup.
