Despite Virat Kohli’s century, Bengaluru lost at the hands of Rajasthan. However, slowly trolling started on Kohli after hitting the century.
Internet Desk: Virat Kohli hits century in IPL season 17 He scored 113 runs in 72 balls (strikeout 156.94) in the match against Rajasthan at Jaipur venue. He hit the century in 67 balls. This is one of the slowest centuries in IPL. Manish Pandey also scored a century in 67 balls in 2009. With this, trolling started on Virat Kohli’s innings on social media. In this sequence, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag responded to Kohli’s strike.
Sehwag countered the troller that “Bangalore was at least 20 runs behind against Rajasthan. Virat Kohli’s innings was good. However, among the rest of the team, Duplessis, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green could not play aggressively. Dinesh Karthik and Lamrore did not come to bat. Due to this, Virat Kohli’s strike dropped. When other batsmen not played at all the burden automatically fell on Virat Kohli. “There are no doubts about his form. He decided to stay at the crease till the end of the innings. Some of the players who have paid huge sums are disappointing. Maxi has failed miserably”.
What did Kohli say about the century?
Kohli said that “Opposition bowlers tempt me to hit shots. But, I have to play according to the situation. Jaipur pitch is different. Even though it looks flat, the ball is not coming on the bat. Changing pace makes batting even more difficult. So, one of us (Duplessis) We decided to stay at the crease till the end. We felt that the runs we scored (183) were enough. I know I didn’t play very aggressively in this match. To stop the tactics of the Rajasthan bowlers.. I had to play slowly as there was not much cooperation from the pitch. It was not easy to face the bowling of Ashwin and Chahal. Ashwin’s carrom balls were very complicated”.
