Just scoring runs is not important in T20 league. Even more important is what was the speed of scoring runs. Rohit Sharma’s fans often try to call Virat slow. But this is also more a matter of image than fact. The truth is that there is less than one difference in the strike rate of Virat and Rohit. Rohit scores runs at a strike rate of 131.22. Virat Kohli’s strike rate is 130.47, i.e. only 0.75 less than Rohit.
After the strike rate, the biggest debate among the fans of Rohit and Kohli is about hitting fours and sixes. Statistics show that Virat Kohli is better at hitting fours, while Rohit Sharma is better at hitting sixes. Virat has hit 672 fours and 246 sixes so far in the IPL. Rohit has hit 582 fours and 272 sixes.
If we talk about scoring runs only from boundaries in IPL, then Virat Kohli seems to be winning in this. Virat has scored 4104 runs with the help of boundaries in 243 matches. Rohit has scored a total of 3960 runs in the league by hitting fours and sixes.
