Delhi: Team India's great batsman Sunil Gavaskar has targeted Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) legend Virat Kohli regarding the strike rate. Recently Kohli had said that I do not care about those who are questioning the strike rate and I do not pay attention to external things. Gavaskar is angry with Virat's statement. He has strongly criticized Virat. According to Little Master, if Virat Kohli is not bothered by the statements of outsiders, then why did he react to it.
Actually, questions are being raised about Kohli's strike rate before the T20 World Cup. His strike rate is not that good. Kohli gave this statement after the match against Gujarat Titans (GT). Responding to the critics, the dashing batsman said, “I have been playing and doing my work for the last 15 years. It is also being said that my strike rate is low and I cannot bowl spin, but I know what my game is like.”
At the same time, Sunil criticized Virat's statement. He said that Kohli says that he does not care what outsiders say, then why is he reacting to this. We also played a little cricket, not much and we had no agenda. He further said that if his strike rate is 118 then commentators raise questions. We talk about what we see. We don't have any likes or dislikes of our own, but by doing this Virat is criticizing his own commentary team. I hope Star Sports will understand this.
