Win or lose. Virat Kohli is always in the news. As Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday ended a six-game losing streak to return to winning ways in the IPL 2024, Kohli’s knock of 51 from 43 balls held a lot of significance, but at the same time, it couldn’t escape its fair share of criticism. Kohli’s ‘slow’ innings was all social media could talk about last evening – well, at least during the first half of the game. The manner in which the former RCB captain dropped pace after the Powerplay left many, including Sunil Gavaskar, unimpressed.
The legendary Gavaskar, always one of the firsts to lend his support to Kohli, was left surprised seeing Virat de-accelerate after a brisk start. Kohli blasted away to 32 off his first 18 balls as RCB scored at a fair clip inside the Powerplay to reach 61/1. Kohli scorched four boundaries and a six to show his intent but once the field spread out and Rajat Patidar took over, Virat slowed down dramatically, scoring just 19 off his next 25 balls. This left Gavaskar visibly upset as the legendary India cricketer couldn’t help but show his frustration on air.
