Virat Kohli scored a fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2024. He has crossed the 400-run mark in the 17th season. However, he failed to score runs at a brisk pace after the powerplay overs.
Virat accumulated 51 runs off 43 balls, with the help of 4 fours and 1 sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 118.60. Kohli has often faced flak for his scoring rate in the shortest format and many feel he shouldn’t be selected for the ICC T20 World Cup due to his strike rate.
Fans slammed him after his knock against Hyderabad and accused of him playing for records and the Orange Cap.
