The 19th match of IPL 2024 was played yesterday on 6 April between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Let us tell you that former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop, who was doing English commentary during this match, had to apologize to a cricket fan.

It so happened that former RCB captain Virat Kohli, batting first in the match, completed his half-century in 39 balls on a batting friendly pitch. So in the same match, he played an unbeaten inning of 113* runs in 72 balls. On the other hand, Bishop, who was commentating after Kohli’s half-century, was seen praising him, which a cricket fan did not like at all.

Let us tell you that after Bishop praised Kohli’s half-century, this fan tagged Ian Bishop on X and wrote – He said only 39 deliveries. After Virat completes 50 runs someone needs to tell him that IPL is not 50 but 20 over tournament, I know they are paying you to praise big players but still batting track But calling 50 runs in 39 balls is just a joke.

On the other hand, while replying to this fan and apologizing, Bishop writes on his official social media account – Trust me, I am well aware of what batting is like in this format. I was wrong in my choice of words. It’s just on me. I’m no devil, not yet. But thanks for your reaction. It was praised.
