Kohli scored 62 runs from just 33 balls, including five boundaries and as many sixes against Chennai Super Kings with a strike rate of 187.88 in the recent match. RCB became the first team to secure 16 points in IPL 2025. The Bengaluru team will be aiming to secure a top-two finish in the league.
Sanjay Manjrekar, a former Indian cricketer and current commentator, took indirect shots at Kohli's strike rate during the IPL 2025 season. In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), he shared his personal list of the best batters in the season, but notably left Kohli out, citing concerns over his strike rate.
Never Fear When Virat Kohli Is Near - AB de Villiers
"Virat is always there. He is Mr. Safety for RCB. When he is there, you don't have to fear. Never fear when Virat is near. That is the story. Nothing has ever changed, and what I want to tell all of you media people, I haven't forgotten. I have the brain of an elephant. To all my journalist friends out there, I love you guys. But remember when you said Virat bats too slow, right? Virat is there batting at almost a 200 strike rate last night. Eat that," he said.
