Virat Kohli, the star cricketer from India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), showcased his class with a brilliant innings of 77 runs to guide his team to victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). Kohli’s innings came amidst doubts about his form and place in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Having missed the IND vs ENG Test series due to the birth of his second child, Kohli’s performance in the IPL has been under scrutiny. Reports suggesting that he isn’t at his best in T20 cricket have fueled speculation about his future in the shortest format of the game.
Harsha Bhogle said
Renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle praised Kohli for his relaxed and comfortable demeanor despite facing criticism, highlighting the depth of Kohli’s character beyond cricket. Kohli’s performance and response to critics have once again demonstrated his resilience and class as one of the modern greats of the game.
“I really enjoyed the post match conversation with Virat Kohli. He is very relaxed, very comfortable and that came through. As a presenter, you have an instinct about comfort levels and it was good to listen to him talk about life beyond the game in the last 2 months. Our profession is only a part of our life”
After his match-winning innings, Kohli responded to critics in a cheeky manner, stating, “I’ve still got it I guess.” His comment was in response to Kevin Pietersen‘s question to Ravi Shastri about whether Kohli should be picked for the T20 World Cup to promote the sport in the US. Shastri had replied, “pick the best team and the game will grow.”
