But Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar believes that it is too early to say anything about it as there is another IPL to be played before the 2024 T20 World Cup. In such a situation, the selection of Virat Kohli should be decided on the basis of his form at that time.
During a conversation with Sports Tak, Gavaskar said, “The next T20 World Cup will be played in 2024. There will be another IPL before that in March-April. At that time his form should be seen. There's no point in talking about it now. If we are talking about the upcoming T20 Internationals, say India playing a match in June, then he definitely fits in the team, the kind of form he has shown. In West Indies and America, before that we need to see the form of players in IPL and then we can talk about World Cup team selection.
Speaking further the Little Master said, “Virat will definitely be in my T20 squad in current form for India's upcoming matches in the format. He has scored two centuries (in IPL 2023). Scoring two centuries is a big deal. Even scoring 50 runs in T20 cricket is difficult. This great batsman has scored two centuries. If I were a selector and India were playing T20s in June this year, I would undoubtedly pick him in the team."
