Virat Kohli: The 41st match of IPL 2024 is being played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Hyderabad, in which RCB has won the toss and decided to bat first. Bengaluru made a very fast start and the credit for this goes to captain Faf du Plessis as well as Virat Kohli. Faf was out after scoring 25 runs but Kohli played a half-century and scored 51 runs in 43 balls, which included four fours and a six. However, now questions are being raised on Kohli's innings, because he started fast but after the powerplay, he batted very slowly and could not hit even a single boundary.

If we divide Virat Kohli's innings, he scored 32 runs in his first 18 balls, which included four fours and one six, but after that he could score only 19 runs in the next 25 balls and this also affected the run rate of RCB. Kohli and Rajat Patidar made a partnership of 65 runs in 34 balls for the third wicket, in which the veteran batsman contributed 14 runs in 14 balls. It clearly shows that he could not progress his innings quickly after the powerplay and was struggling. His wicket fell at the score of 140 in the 15th over and he became the victim of Jaydev Unadkat.

There is constant discussion about Virat Kohli's strike rate.

There is a lot of discussion about Virat Kohli's place for the T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in June and some people are raising questions on his place. Behind this he has also cited Kohli's slow strike rate. Despite scoring a century in the current IPL season, Kohli had to face criticism and even during that innings his strike rate was on target. In IPL 2024, Kohli has so far scored 430 runs in 9 innings. During this period his average is 61.42 and strike rate is 145.76.

Looking at the performance of Virat Kohli, it is difficult to say that he will get a place in the T20 World Cup 2024 but his strike rate is definitely under question. Kohli would definitely like to answer his critics with his bat in the upcoming matches.
