“People think Kohli is God…. He is a human being….”- Navjot Singh Sidhu came out in support of Virat
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli played a key role in his team’s recent win against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. Chasing the target of 201 runs, it was Kohli and Will Jacks who batted brilliantly and they helped RCB register their third win of the season. They achieved this target with 9 wickets and 24 balls remaining. Kohli remained unbeaten on 70 runs in 44 balls and crossed the 500-run mark this season. With this he is on top in the list of Orange Cap. Despite his good batting form, Virat Kohli This season he has faced a lot of criticism regarding his strike rate. After the win against Titans, Kohli said that it is easy to comment from outside but competing on the field is a different story. Navjot Singh Sidhu came to the rescue of Virat Kohli Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has now come out in Kohli’s defence. Sidhu said on Star Sports that, “People think Kohli is God. He is a human being, so will play like a human being. Instead of criticizing, why don’t we focus on the fact that that player has 80 centuries. This is his strength and weakness, he doesn’t have any.” And if you look carefully, today he played on the backfoot and hit good shots against the spinners. Tell me how many people can do this? Hitting a left-arm spinner against spin… So, Kohli has a presence which he cherishes even on his wicket. What else should he do?” Mohammad Kaif, who was part of the same discussion, also came to Kohli’s defense and said that it is clear that he will play with a low strike rate in the middle overs. Kaif said, “These days I only hear about strike-rate. People are behind Kohli. Boss, between 7 and 15 overs, it is natural to be slow. The economy-rate of a spinner is lower than that of a fast bowler. Why? Because they bowl in the middle overs.”
