Steve Smith picks Virat Kohli to rule the T20 WC 2024 [x.com]

Legendary Australia Cricketer and former captain Steve Smith has high hopes for Virat Kohli in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024.

Smith predicts Kohli will be the tournament's leading run-scorer, crediting his brilliant form in the recently concluded season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024).

Kohli dominated the IPL 2024, scoring a whopping 741 runs in just 15 matches. This impressive performance has convinced Smith that Kohli will carry this momentum into the global tournament.

"My top run-getter for this tournament will be Virat Kohli," Smith said. "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," he added.

Kohli is no stranger to success in the T20 World Cup. He currently holds the record for most runs scored throughout the tournament's history, with a staggering 1141 runs in 27 matches.

While Kohli missed India's warm-up game against Bangladesh due to his late arrival in the US, his training session on June 3rd showcased his focus and determination.

With the opening match against Ireland fast approaching on June 5th, fans eagerly await to see if Kohli can live up to Smith's prediction and become the leading run-scorer once again.
