Cricket Live: While playing against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the current IPL 2023, star Indian batsman Virat Kohli, 34, was playing at his very best. The former captain and Faf du Plessis (71 runs off 47 deliveries), who together put up a remarkable partnership of 172 runs to seal an eight-wicket victory as RCB chased 187 runs, were crucial to the team’s ability to remain in the playoff fight.
Harshal Patel, a bowler for the RCB, praised Kohli after the game, saying it was impressive to see how he put so much energy and focus into the game. In order to keep the scoreboard moving, Harshal lauded Kohli’s timing as well as his quickness while he ran between wickets.
It’s really challenging to bowl to him when he starts going. That is a quality of a top player. He is a fantastic player, and I don’t need to sit here and reiterate that. Simply playing simple cricket shots—nothing fancy. the way he attacks the bowlers, even on a ground that is just moderately fast. The type of sixes he made and the strokes he took. He is not a power hitter, certainly. But what really stands out about his hitting is his timing.
“His endurance for playing 20 overs without tiring while taking so many twos. He is always buzzing, even while he is playing. In the last five overs, he has gone from far off to long on. As a result, it’s impressive to observe his intensity and dedication to the game,” according to Harshal, who was reported by India Today.
Notably, because to Kohli’s 100 off just 63 deliveries, RCB was able to secure a simple victory and move up to fourth place in the IPL points standings. The three-time winners’ next opponent is the Gujarat Titans, who they face on May 21 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. If they can defeat the reigning champions, RCB will advance to yet another round of the playoffs. The team captained by Faf du Plessis has a chance to be in the top two if the stars align.
