IPL 2024: ‘He Plays for Orange Cap’ – Fans Rip Apart Virat Kohli for ‘Selfish’ Knock vs KKR
Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 83 runs from 59 balls.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru (KKR) by seven wickets in the 10th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season on Friday, March 29th, marking the first away win of the season.
Chasing 183, the Kolkata Knight Riders got off to a great start with Sunil Narine and Phil Salt dominating the RCB bowlers. Venkatesh Iyer’s brisk half-century and a smart knock by captain Shreyas Iyer ensured KKR chased down the target in 16.5 overs.
However, when RCB was batting in the first innings, the pitch looked slow, and this is one of the reasons that Virat Kohli‘s unbeaten knock of 83 runs, which he scored off 59 balls with the help of four boundaries and as many maximums, is now receiving backlash from fans.
Some fans even believe that RCB lost the game against KKR because of Kohli’s slow batting and that he could have accelerated and batted at a much better strike rate, similar to what KKR’s openers did.
Let’s delve into social media reactions to Virat Kohli’s innings:
