Virat Kohli's Brother Takes Brutal Dig At Sanjay Manjrekar Amid IPL 2025 Row: "Strike Rate..."

Virat Kohli's brother Vikas took to social media to take a dig at former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar. Manjrekar's multiple social media posts about Royal Challengers Bengaluru have already sparked controversy amid the ongoing IPL 2025. Following the match between RCB and Mumbai Indians. Manjrekar said that the battle between Virat and Bumrah can no longer be considered a 'best vs best' battle. He even claimed that Virat is past his prime and while choosing the top 10 batters in the IPL 2025, he ignored Virat's name despite the fact that the RCB star batter is the highest run-getter at this moment.

Vikas took a dig at the former cricketer on social media platform Threads. "sanjay manjrekar.Career odi strike rate : 64:31.Easy to talk about 200 plus strike rates," wrote Vikas.

Earlier, Kohli underlined the importance of stitching partnerships in T20 cricket, especially on wickets where heaving the willow from the word go is not possible.

The pitches in the IPL thus far have been on the slower side, not allowing the batters to go hammer and tongs from ball one. However, the likes of Kohli and K L Rahul have flourished in challenging batting conditions.

Kohli collected his sixth half-century in 10 IPL innings against Delhi Capitals on Sunday, helping RCB maintain their unbeaten run away from home.

"It was a top win, especially looking at the surface. We saw a few games here and this wicket played out differently compared to those. Whenever there's a chase on, I keep checking with the dugout, whether we're on course," Kohli, who played a second-fiddle to Krunal Pandya, said after the win.

Kohli elaborated on his batting methodology, saying he analyses the conditions and changes his style of play accordingly.
