DTVHINDIIrfan Pathan gave a befitting reply to those criticizing Virat Kohli’s strike rate.
In the match against Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Travis Head scored 58 runs in 44 balls – which was a complete contrast to his batting style. Head usually attacks the bowlers from the start and tries to dominate the powerplay. However, as SRH lost the wickets of Abhishek Sharma and Anmolpreet Singh early. After this, Head handled the innings by batting cautiously. Keeping this in mind, former cricketers Irfan Pathan and Mohammad Kaif said that if Virat Kohli had played such an innings, there would have been many debates on his strike rate. Let us tell you that, despite scoring a lot of runs and being ranked second in the Orange Cap list, Kohli has been criticized for his strike rate throughout IPL 2024. Following Head’s innings, Pathan and Kaif came to Kohli’s defense and said that every cricketer should be treated equally. After the slow innings of Travis Head, Irfan Pathan now comes in support of Virat During commentary Irfan Pathan said that, “As per his ability, you have never seen him play like this. It doesn’t matter what you say there was good bowling and everything, but every cricketer should be treated equally. On this, Mohammad Kaif said, you are right, if it was Virat Kohli, I can guarantee that people would have said only 58 runs in 44 balls? What is this? They will say it is low and there will be debate about his strike rate. But I believe it was a good innings from Head.” In the end, Irfan said, “But if Virat Kohli had been in his place, people would have been adamant on the strike rate, but here we are talking about taking responsibility for the team’s victory, so please treat everyone equally.”
