New Delhi. The 19th match of IPL 2024 was played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals (Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore). Rajasthan Royals registered a spectacular victory in this match. Virat Kohli scored a century in this match but RCB could not win the match. Virat’s strike rate was a topic of discussion during this period. Sehwag has said that he could not find anyone to support him.
Virender Sehwag said, “I think RCB was 20 runs short. Talking about Virat Kohli, he played a brilliant innings. But there was no one to support him. Karthik did not come to bat. They did not find any big hitter. Yes, Kohli should have definitely increased the strike rate. Because if you are at 50 runs in 39 balls then you think that the score should be taken forward rapidly. But other batsmen did nothing.”

Gujarat Titans bowler Mohammed Shami was also a part of this panel and he said, “All the pressure was on Kohli. Kohli always performs. Be it in the Indian team or Royal Challengers Bangalore. But this does not mean that you should put all the responsibility on Virat Kohli. Whatever other batsmen there are, they will also have to perform.”
