Mohammad Kaif Says “Need Sher Ka Jigar, Not…” After Virat Kohli’s Fiery Strike-Rate Rant

In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Virat Kohli has shown outstanding performance, completing 500 runs for the seventh consecutive time as RCB emerged victorious with a 9-wicket win. Mohammad Kaif praised Kohli’s performance and highlighted the significance of his abilities, recalling a memorable six he struck in a previous T20 World Cup match against Pakistan. Kaif emphasized that Kohli’s success is not solely dependent on strike rate but rather his determination and skill in crucial moments. During RCB’s match against GT, Virat Kohli, known as the ‘chase master’, achieved a significant milestone.

In his unbeaten innings of 70 runs from 44 balls, Kohli achieved a massive strike rate of 159.09 and completed his 24th half-century while chasing a target, placing him second in the all-time list. The 133-run partnership between Kohli and Will Jacks also made history, marking the highest partnership scored against Gujarat Titans in the IPL. Additionally, Kohli equaled David Warner’s record of achieving over 500 runs in seven IPL seasons. In the same game, GT put up a competitive total of 200/3, with Sai Sudharsan and Shahrukh Khan’s contributions of 86* and 58 respectively.

This performance set the stage for Kohli and RCB’s remarkable chase and subsequent victory.
