Wasim Akram: Virat Kohli's bat is scoring runs in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. He is the highest run-scorer in the tournament and holds the Orange Cap. However, despite this, some of Kohli's innings have been criticized. On April 25, against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he scored only 51 runs in 43 balls, on which commentators commented.

However, Virat did not like this and he scolded the commentators. Sunil Gavaskar, who was commentating in IPL 2024, did not like this reaction of Kohli and he also gave a sharp statement. Now former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram has also given his opinion on this whole matter.

Wasim Akram gave advice to Virat

Former Pakistan legend Wasim Akram said that both Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli are two respected people in the cricket world. Therefore they should not make statements against each other. They said,

“Both Virat and Gavaskar are great players. I know Sunil Gavaskar as a cricketer, a human being and off the field. He has been doing commentary for years. At the same time, Virat Kohli is a top player. He has scored a lot of runs, but he should not talk like this.”

There is a war between Virat and Gavaskar

Actually, Virat Kohli had scored only 51 runs in 43 balls against Hyderabad and during this his strike rate was 118. After this his slow batting was criticized a lot. However, in the very next match, Virat made an important contribution to his team's victory by playing an unbeaten inning of 70* runs in 44 balls against Gujarat.

After this inning, he replied to his critics including commentators and said that he has been playing cricket for a long time and he knows what he is doing. At the same time, Gavaskar reacted to this and said that he is not running the agenda and Kohli does not need to respond to the voices raised outside the field.

Kohli's performance has been excellent

Virat Kohli's performance this season has been excellent. He has scored 542 runs in 11 matches. During this period, his average has been 67.75 and strike rate has been 148.08. Not only this, Virat has also scored 1 century and 4 half-centuries this season. Talking about boundaries, King Kohli has hit 48 fours and 24 sixes.
