Virat Kohli expressed his displeasure with former players who questioned his strike rate in T20 cricket. He strongly criticized them after the match and even questioned their credibility. Kohli stated that he had been following the same template for 15 years and had won several matches for the teams.
This year’s IPL has placed a significant focus on Virat’s strike rate and his performance against spinners. Doull, a former New Zealand pacer, expressed concern that Kohli may be relying excessively on social media for information. Simon stated that he did not feel the need to make that statement, given his reputation and achievements in cricket:
“I think he is reading a lot of stuff on social media and is reacting to it. If he is not reading, then someone from his team is informing him about what is being said. He is a great player, and he did not need to react in that fashion after the match.”
He achieved 70 runs off 44 balls in RCB’s victory over Gujarat Titans. The visitors were victorious by nine wickets, with Will Jacks achieving a century.
