Ahead of the knockout T20 World Cup semi-final, England is cautious of threat  by Kohli

As his team gets ready for an ICC Men's T20 World Cup knockout semi-final matchup against India, England coach Matthew Mott is cognizant of the threat that Virat Kohli poses.

Although Kohli has only scored 66 runs in six innings thus far in this competition, Mott is still confident that the seasoned right-hander will improve for the match against Guyana in the semi-finals.

Mott cited Kohli's propensity to put up his finest performances in pivotal moments and expressed his team's awareness that they need to contain the 35-year-old's top-order danger on Thursday.

"Virat is one of the guys we've prepared well for since he has demonstrated his class over a very long period of time. We are aware of his skill level, his destructive nature, and his gaming acumen. He has that ability if the situation calls for an innings of a different kind," Mott stated during the press conference held prior to the game.

So, he's undoubtedly a crucial player for them, and as we've said throughout the competition, what transpires now doesn't matter when we play each other tomorrow big players step up in the crunch. The head coach continued, "You can expect him to do exactly the same, but we're hoping our players do that."

According to Mott, the winning team will be the one that responds to the circumstances faster than the other. Both teams will need to adjust to the challenges they face.
