Mohammad Kaif is furious about Virat Kohli..!?

Former indian player mohammad kaif has criticized virat kohli for thinking that it was a 6-over match, trying to bat from the first ball, and losing a wicket. The match between royal challengers Bangalore and punjab Kings was played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The match was reduced to 14 overs due to rain. royal challengers Bangalore batted first. The team's openers virat kohli and Phil salt were dismissed for a few runs. virat kohli and Phil salt were the top scorers for royal challengers Bangalore in this year's IPL series. virat kohli scored 249 runs in 7 matches, his average was 49.8 and his strike rate was 141.47. He had also scored three half-centuries. Phil salt had batted better than virat kohli in some matches. In this situation, while both of them were expected to play aggressively in this 14-over match, the consecutive dismissals of both of them were a big disappointment.
In particular, virat kohli was dismissed after facing only 3 balls and scoring only 1 run. Due to this, the royal challengers Bangalore team struggled to score runs. The team scored only 95 runs for the loss of 9 wickets at the end of 14 overs. punjab Kings achieved this simple target in 12.1 overs. Speaking about this, former player mohammad kaif said, "Virat kohli tried to hit the ball. He usually doesn't hit it like this in 20-over matches. Since this is a 14-over match, virat kohli thought he should hit it from the first ball." "But, on such tough pitches, you have to take some time first. virat kohli could have been a little patient for the first five balls and then switched to action. But virat kohli thought it was a 6-over match. So, he played a bad shot and got out," criticized Mohammad Kaif.
