In the second over of Mohammed Shami and the third over of the match, he started opening his hands. Kohli hit 3 fours in this over scoring 18 runs off it.
So it was the result of Kohli’s solid batting that RCB accumulated 55 runs in the powerplay. Kohli completed his half-century off 33 balls and that too by hitting a six off Rashid Khan. During this, Virat Kohli also completed 7,000 runs in T20 cricket.
However, his innings wasn’t convincing in the beginning as Rashid Khan missed a tough chance over fine leg. Later he dismissed Kohli on his own ball, but by then Kohli had ruined the hopes of Gujarat’s victory.
After the match, Virat said, “I can keep going. It was an important game. I was disappointed that I haven’t done much for my team and that is what bothers me, not the stats. Today was a game where I was able to create an impact for the team. Puts us in a good position.”
He said, “There are expectations because of the performances that you have put in. You need to keep the perspective right.”
What do you do when things are not going your way? When asked, Virat said, “I batted 90 minutes in the nets yesterday. I came in very free and relaxed. It is in that spur of the moment why is it happening to me.”
“I won’t be standing here being ungrateful for all that I have achieved. With the very first shot of Shami, I felt I could hit lengths balls over the fielder’s head. I knew that tonight was the night when I could kick on. It has been wonderful that I have got so much support in this edition. I am forever grateful to all the love that I have never seen before.”
Cricketer Wasim Jaffer tweeted on this performance of Virat Kohli along with his picture, “It doesn’t matter what the situation is, a man will come who will win the match by turning adversity.”
Virat executes all the shots in the book of cricket on the field with great precision and is known for his passion and passion and the things that have made him an icon of cricket.
Kohli’s century in international cricket came about three years ago and IPL-2022 has been his worst performing season so far.
