In the video, Bhogle discussed Kohli's dismissal in T20 format, emphasising its strategic impact for the team.

Funny how the Harsha Bhogle who did commentary on Virat Kohli winning matches for India in T20Is in collapse on biggest stage when his 20 off 6 players threw away wickets is crying on Kohli. This obsession is insane.

When the entire team gets out & that too quite frequently in T20 World Cups, Virat Kohli is the only one standing. You’re preaching how he needs to get out in the best interest of the team?

Virat Kohli is the first player to single-handedly lead Team India to victory by chasing runs in 18+ matches in T20🔥
