T20 World Cup: Kaif Backs Kohli Ahead Of Final Against SA, Says 'even Dhoni Didn't Have A Great Run In 2011'
Kaif drew a parallel between Kohli's current form and Dhoni's journey in the 2011 World Cup. He reminded fans that Dhoni, despite not having an exceptional tournament, rose to the occasion in the final against Sri Lanka, scoring an unbeaten 91* and sealing the victory with an iconic six over long-on. Kaif suggested that Kohli, who has not yet had a standout performance in this tournament, has the potential to emulate Dhoni's heroics.
"Virat Kohli needs to remember that even Dhoni didn't have a great World Cup in 2011, but he found form in the final. He is too good a player to slog; he can play ball on merit and dominate any bowling attack," Kaif said in a video posted on 'X'. "Dhoni’s six over long-on off Kulasekara is etched in everybody's mind. That's why I think Virat Kohli has a great chance to become a hero."
