Live Hindi News :- The IPL 2024 T20 cricket series has reached an exciting stage. India's confidence man Virat Kohli tops the list of highest run-scorers with 661 runs. Due to this, he has also retained the Orange Cap and is playing an important role in the success of the Bangalore team. However, Virat Kohli played at a slightly lower strike rate in the initial matches. Therefore, initially there was criticism that Virat Kohli is responsible for Bangalore's 6 consecutive defeats.

Some former players have criticized Virat Kohli for playing at a low strike rate, especially for his own achievements. In such a situation, Virat Kohli, who scored a half-century in the match against Hyderabad, was finally out for 118 runs and suffered a major setback.

Dispute comment: At that time, Sunil Gavaskar criticized him and said, 'If you play for 15 overs and finally get out at a strike rate of 118, then no one will expect it.' Virat Kohli, who won the Man of the Match award in another match, said, “I play for the team and the fans.

He indirectly said, “I am not playing for anyone else.”

A disgruntled Sunil Gavaskar said, “Why does Virat Kohli, who may say he doesn't care about criticism, react like this? He then criticized, “It is strange to ask him to praise him after playing at a strike rate of 118.” In the subsequent matches, Virat Kohli responded to his criticism by playing at a brilliant strike rate.

So on May 17, a match was held between Mumbai and Lucknow teams. The event was halted for half an hour due to rain. Then the former players discussed on Star Sports TV about Virat Kohli who is the highest run scorer this year.

Here is what Sunil Gavaskar said unrelated to that debate:

When Virat Kohli started his career, it was a career that had to be stopped in the beginning. Then actually MS Dhoni gave him extra momentum and opportunity. That is why we see this Virat Kohli today. ” It is true that Virat Kohli grew up with the support of the then captain Dhoni. But it is worth noting that Gavaskar's statement is now causing controversy.
