Virat Kohli’s Batting Masterclass
Virat Kohli was at his best for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL 2024 match on Friday. Continuing his good show in the IPL 2024, Kohli yet again scored a half-century. Kohli brought his fifty in 36 balls whereas other batters, except Green, generally struggled for momentum and timing. But at the other end, Green wasn’t really bothered about such technical angles, as his batting was all about brute power.
Kohli orchestrated a crucial partnership, accumulating 83 runs off 42 balls for the second wicket. His innings were characterized by a diverse range of shots, including drives, lofts, sweeps, and slog-sweeps, showcasing his adaptability and skill. Kohli scored 83 runs on 59 balls. And credit also goes to KKR bowlers like Ankul Roy, who bowled 2 overs and conceded only 6 runs. However, Russell conceded only 29 runs in his quota of 4 overs and bagged one wicket.
KKR openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine together scored 83 runs in the powerplay. After which, people started trolling Virat Kohli as “chokli” because he scored 83 runs off 59 balls and KKR’s opener scored 83 runs in just 36 balls.
Comparison with Virat Kohli’s Innings
While Narine’s batting was explosive, it is essential to compare it with Virat Kohli’s innings for RCB. Despite Kohli’s skilful fifty, Narine’s aggressive approach provided KKR with the momentum they needed to chase down the target.
Narine’s innings of 47 runs off just 22 balls showcased his ability to score quickly and decisively. His aggressive batting style, coupled with his ability to find boundaries consistently, made him a formidable opponent for the RCB bowlers.
