Cricket“Concerned About Milestone”; Simon Doull Scolds Virat Kohli On Air

Virat Kohli brought his 50 in 36 balls, at one stage, Kohli was at 42 off 36 balls, taking full advantage of powerplay against a decent bowling line-up. His 44 balls 61 was good but a wicket like Chinnaswamy, it wasn’t upto the mark, specially when on the same pitch others batters were more prolific, scoring runs at wills.

Now, the loss is blamed on RCB bowlers because they couldn’t defend the total but from a batting point of view, RCB lacked intent from 6 to 12 overs. The decent start was turned into conservative one, perhaps the milestone was more of a concern that team score.

RCB were 56 for 6 without a loss of a wicket in powerplay then in the next 7 overs, they only scored 48 runs and lost wicket of Virat Kohli. It all sums that they fell behind in an ungainly manner without realising how good of a wicket this was to bat.

After the sixth over, Kohli hit boundary in the 10th over just after completing his half century which was criticised by Simon Doull who said on air:

Kohli started off like a train, he was playing a lot of shots. From 42 to 50, he took 10 balls, concerned about milestones.

Was he concerned about milestones? It can be said so because with his half century against LSG, he has become the first batsman in IPL to score half centuries against 13 different sides.

It was match full of thriller and also controversy found its way into it. Had there been more intent in the middle overs, the score would have more formidable but 213 is no small score, especially when RCB had LSG’s 3 batters back into pavillion within 5 overs.

Every single run matters in this game and this match absolutely proved it. It was a good match and everything sums up with the way it ran through the innings.
