Questions were being raised about Kohli’s strike rate.
Kohli’s coach broke his silence
New Delhi. Virat Kohli’s bat is scoring a lot of runs in IPL. Kohli remains on the top in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs in this season of IPL. Virat is the only batsman to cross the 300-run mark in this edition. Kohli, playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, is the first batsman to score a century in the 17th edition of IPL. Virat scored the 8th century of his IPL career in 67 balls. Kohli is joint first in terms of scoring the slowest century in this league. Kohli scored unbeaten 113 runs in 72 balls at a strike rate of around 157 in the match against Rajasthan Royals. Kohli came under attack from his critics regarding his strike rate. People started saying good and bad things to him. But Virat’s coach broke his silence and gave a befitting reply to Kohli’s critics.
RCB, which cherishes the dream of lifting the trophy for the first time, has not been able to perform well so far this season. The team is performing in pieces. While batting, Kohli is standing firm at one end while there is no one to support him from the other end. Out of 5 matches, RCB has won only one. The team is at ninth position in the points table. Virat Kohli’s coach Rajkumar Sharma has defended his disciple. He has given a befitting reply to those who raised questions on Virat’s strike rate.

I have a message on the cricket knowledge of those people.
Rajkumar Sharma told India News, ‘I have doubts about the cricket knowledge of those who talk like this. Despite wickets falling from the other end, Virat is maintaining a strike rate of 130-135. Those who know anything about cricket will not talk like this. These are the people who want to be in the news. Unless they speak and speak for someone, news will not be made. People who understand cricket will not say such things.
‘People want to come into limelight by taking the name of Virat Kohli’
Virat Kohli has scored 316 runs in 5 innings in the current season of IPL. At present the orange cap is on his head. Veteran Brian Lara had praised Kohli’s batting. Lara says that Virat Kohli is undoubtedly starting slowly but by the end he takes his strike rate to 150. In such a situation there is no need to worry. Rajkumar Sharma further said, ‘These critics are only a few people who want to come in limelight. Unless he says something about Virat Kohli, he does not appear in the news. Kohli is the batsman who has scored most centuries in IPL.
