Virat the run machine Kohli is again aiming for orange cap
Virat the run machine Kohli is again aiming for orange cap Virat was missed badly by the Indian team in series against England now he is back in IPL and also is in sublime form he scored 316 runs in just five games having 2 half century and a hundred at a strike rate of 146, yet he is criticized for not scoring fast RCB has purchased Camron green and maxwell to hit at the strike rate of 200 they are not even able to score runs forget about strike rate and blame comes to Virat Kohli. How this criticism started Virat scored a century in 66 balls which is the slowest by any batsmen in IPL, I just have one question how many of them got to a century in T20, getting to a century in t20 game is itself an achievement and it’s a team game everyone has its role to play virat played his other were unable to contribute and that’s why RCB is going down the table. Having average of 105 is just unreal King has an average of 105 in the first 5 games he played in IPL 2024, Sai Sudarshan who is next to him in run getter is 100 runs behind him and having an average of 38 clearly, he is outperforming everyone in the league yet being criticized. Virat Kohli in T20 World Cup Some rumor went out that BCCI didn’t want Virat in T20 world cup, but latter it was addressed that it’s just a rumor and nobody is out of contention player will be selected based on their performance, now looking at the performance Virat Kohli should be the first one getting selected for the T20 world cup. ICC has given deadline till 1 may to submit their squad. .
