Kohli shuts down strike rate critics with fiery IPL knock

Hindustan Times  

April 29 - Virat Kohli brushed aside criticism of his strike rate with a sublime half-century in the Indian Premier League on Sunday as the former Indian captain continued his good form ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup in June. Kohli shuts down strike rate critics with fiery IPL knock The Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsman smashed an unbeaten 44-ball 70 against Gujarat Titans as the bottom-placed team comfortably chased down 201 runs for their third victory in 10 matches. Despite accumulating 500 runs for the seventh time in an IPL season, Kohli's strike rate of 147.49 has come in for scrutiny ahead of the T20 World Cup in the U.S. and West Indies. Australia's Travis Head has the highest strike rate among the top 10 batsmen in the IPL scoring charts with 211.25 after eight games, ahead of West Indian Sunil Narine on 184.02. "All the people who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well are the ones who love talking about this stuff," Kohli said after Bengaluru's nine-wicket win.
