Vikrant Gupta Takes A Dig At Virat Kohli Citing Rohit Sharma’s Innings – Last night, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore went head-to-head in a nerve-wrecking IPL match. RR’s Captain Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to field first. Virat Kohli was the only one who managed to find his rhythm among the RCB batters. Kohli scored his first century in IPL 2024. He played a holding innings, scoring 113 runs off just 72 balls. He hit 12 fours and 4 sixes, with a strike rate of 156.94.
Even though Yashasvi Jaiswal got out early in the first over, RR kept up their pace and managed to secure a win. Jos Butler took charge by smashing a century with 100 runs off 58 deliveries. On the other hand, captain Sanju Samson chipped in with 69 runs off 42 balls. RR secured the victory with 6 wickets remaining and 5 balls to spare. They continued their undefeated run in IPL 2024. On the other hand, RCB had a tough time getting into the groove. They have suffered their fourth defeat out of five matches played in the IPL thus far.

Kohli has scored an impressive 316 runs in just five matches this season. He has an average of 105.33. Yet, he is the only one among the top five run-scorers with a strike rate below 150. His strike rate in IPL 2024 has drawn criticism, despite his impressive runs. In the recent match, there was a lot of focus on his performance as he had a slow start, taking 39 balls to reach his 50. Even though Kohli ended up scoring an impressive 113 runs off 72 balls, it’s worth mentioning that he slowed down as he neared his century.
Today, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals faced off against each other in Mumbai. MI posted a total of 234 in their 20 overs. Rohit Sharma was superb in the powerplay and gave MI the launchpad by scoring 49 off 27 balls with a strike rate of 181.48. He did not care for his half century and went all guns blazing. MI got the launchpad and that allowed Romero Shepherd and Tim David to score 51 runs in their last two overs. Senior sports journalist Vikrant Gupta pointed this out and trolled RCB and Virat Kohli for his innings against Rajasthan Royals.
