Who Did Steve Smith Predict As T20 World Cup Highest Run Scorer? | Cricket News
Australian cricket star Steve Smith has made a bold prediction for the ongoing 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, tipping Virat Kohli to be the highest run-scorer in the tournament. Kohli’s recent form, including winning the Orange Cap in the IPL 2024, has impressed Smith, who believes the Indian captain will lead the run charts in the West Indies and the USA.
Smith, not selected in the Australia squad for the tournament, highlighted Kohli’s exceptional form and predicted that he would outshine the competition. Kohli, already the highest run-scorer in T20 World Cup history, has a track record of performing well in crucial matches.
Teammate and captain Rohit Sharma is also expected to make a significant impact in the tournament, currently ranking fourth in the all-time run-getters list. The Indian duo is set to open the batting against Ireland in New York on June 5, with Kohli looking to add to his impressive tally against Pakistan.
With Group A opponents lined up, including a highly anticipated match against Pakistan on June 9, Kohli’s experience and skill will be crucial for India’s success. Despite the competition, legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar has suggested a different batting order, emphasizing the potential of young talent like Yashasvi Jaiswal.
As the T20 World Cup progresses, all eyes will be on Kohli and Sharma as they aim to lead India to victory with their dynamic batting performances. Stay tuned for more updates on the tournament and the race for the highest run-scorer title.
