Former New Zealand player took a dig at Virat Kohli, said he is worried about making records
Former RCB captain Virat Kohli scored the 46th half-century of his IPL career against Lucknow Supergiants on Monday. Kohli touched the 50-run mark in 35 balls. This was Kohli’s second fifty in IPL 2023.
Simon Doull doing commentary for the official broadcaster of IPL said –
“Kohli started the innings like a train. He was playing fast and scoring runs at a good pace, he took 10 balls from 42 to 50 runs. He seemed worried about the record. I don’t think it has a place anywhere in the game. At this time, you should keep scoring runs continuously, especially when you have wickets left. You should keep scoring runs.”
Let us tell you that Virat Kohli had scored 42 runs in 25 balls, but he took 10 balls to score the next eight runs. Virat Kohli’s slow approach to reach his fifty didn’t impress former New Zealand player Simon Dull and he took a jibe at the former RCB skipper during the commentary.
