IPL 2024 | Twitter erupts as animated King Kohli gives fitting reply to critics with his bat
Greatness is achieved only when the daunting challenges are overcome by hustle and determination. Certainly, Virat Kohli walked the talk with the bat to silence his critics ahead of the T20 World Cup over poor strike rate with a huge roar after racing to his fifty against GT in Ahmedabad.
Chasing a total of 201 runs, Royal Challengers Bengaluru kicked off the second innings on a flying note as Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli notched up a 40-run partnership, summing up a 63-run powerplay eventually. Despite the fall of the skipper, the Indian star took control of the game with a struggling Will Jacks playing second fiddle initially in the innings. Kohli was seen animated throughout his knock and right after getting the fifty, he roared up in jubilation as if he held some grudge.
On the final ball of the tenth over, Rashid Khan sprayed a short of a length delivery well outside the wooden sticks, and Kohli nearing a fifty made room to slice this towards the deep point region for a four. With the score reading 98 runs in ten overs, Kohli raced to a fifty in just 32 balls and roared up in a celebration of his own, indulging in a charged-up hug with Jacks. He was seen animated and right after the chase was completed, Kohli even took to a post-match interview to give a fitting reply to his critics.
King is back!
KING KOHLI, THE CHASE MASTER.
