IPL 2025: Kohli Knows When To Do The Improvisation And Run The Game, Says Sarandeep Singh
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ahead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) starting their IPL 2025 campaign on March 22, Sarandeep Singh, the former India spinner and national selector, believes Virat Kohli has evolved into someone who knows when to do the improvisation in his batting and then run the game accordingly.
As per statistics from Cricket-21, in IPL 2024, Kohli showed a new approach to his T20 batting while becoming the tournament’s leading run-getter with 741 runs in 15 games. His powerplay strike rate stood at 161, which was up from 120, his usual strike rate in that phase. 72% of his runs came in boundaries during the powerplay.
This statistic shows that at this stage of his career, despite retiring from the T20I format for India, Kohli is not slowing down but adapting himself as per the need and demand of the modern game and becoming a dominating run-machine in the IPL.
