Former fast bowler Stuart Broad praised Virat Kohli's batting skills and believes that the star RCB player deserves to win an IPL trophy with Royal Challengers Bangalore. Broad acknowledged the 35-year-old as 'one of the best finishers in the world.'
Kohli played a pivotal role in helping RCB open their points tally this IPL 2024 season with a win over Punjab Kings on March 25, scoring an impressive 77 runs off 49 balls. During RCB's first home match of the season at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Kohli showcased his trademark composed yet explosive batting style.
Broad praised Kohli's outstanding career and expressed his belief that he deserves an IPL trophy:
“All cricket fans want to see him lift the trophy, whether it’s this year or in the future. He has been a stalwart of Indian cricket for years and truly deserves the honor.”
Broad also commended the star batter's ability to deliver clutch performances for India and RCB, particularly in high-pressure situations.
Kohli took a break from international cricket for the birth of his son, Akaay. Broad emphasized the impact of off-field life on on-field performance.
On Monday, at M Chinnaswamy stadium, Kohli scored his 100th half-century in the IPL. He was named Man of the Match and took over the Orange Cap, dazzling fans.
