Hyderabad: Former skipper Virat Kohli criticized even as Royal Challengers Bangalore returned with their second win of the season. The slowness of the star is again discussed in the social media. Virat scored 51 runs off 43 balls for Bengaluru. He cracked the powerplay but struggled to find runs later on. After scoring 23 runs off the first 11 balls, the star scored only 28 runs off the next 31 balls he faced. Not a single boundary was scored in the last 25 balls played. On the other hand, Rajat Padidar smashed 50 runs in 20 balls to accelerate the scoring.
The team was 140 in the 15th over when Kohli returned after trying to score. But in the last over, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh took the team past 200. Earlier too, Kohli’s slow batting had drawn criticism. The main criticism is that Kohli plays for the Orange Cap. Currently, the former India captain is the first among the run-scorers with 430 runs from nine innings with three fifties and one century. The player hit the bat at a strike rate of 145.
At the same time, fans counter by arguing that Kohli switches to the role of anger when the other side is beaten and does so only when the scoring needs to be increased. There is strong criticism in the social media that this slow team of Kohli will tend in the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar also came out criticizing the star’s slow batting. The former Indian player’s response was that your team did not expect such an innings. Hyderabad lost by 35 runs against Bengaluru at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.
