Virat Kohli "Gets Out Trying To Hit A Six": Mohammad Kaif Concludes 'Intent' Debate

Virat Kohli once again rose the tallest, but this time with an impressive strike-rate of 195, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a 60-run victory against Punjab Kings on Thursday. Kohli's 47-ball 92 was the cornerstone of RCB's innings as he starred in two partnerships -- 72 off 32 balls with Rajat Patidar (55 off 23 balls) and 92 off 46 balls with Cameron Green (46 off 27 balls) to propel RCB to 241/7. Virat's knock also settled the enraging debate around Virat's strike-rate and intent. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif feels the fact that Kohli got out while trying to hit a six at 92, ends the debate around his intent in the shortest format of the game.

Former India cricketers Irfan Pathan and Mohammad Kaif have backed young Yashasvi Jaiswal to be captain Rohit Sharma's opening partner for India in the upcoming Men's T20 World Cup, to be held in West Indies and USA from June 1. Kohli has been leading run-charts in the IPL 2024 as an opener for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but him opening with Rohit for India in the T20 World Cup could result in teams having left-arm fast-bowler and left-arm spinner match-up.

Was it a no ball or legal delivery? That seems to be the biggest debate since Virat Kohli's debatable dismissal during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday. The point of contention is that whether the full toss by Harshit Rana was above Virat Kohli's waist height or not. Kohli was furious after he was caught and bowled by Rana on that delivery and later was fined 50 per cent of his match fees for showing dissent on umpire's decision.
