Virat Kohli: It looks like the outburst by the King of Bangalore has left everyone in two minds. On one side some experts are criticizing Kohli’s outburst while on the other many experts are even defending him.
Sunil Gavaskar criticized Kohli for his outburst and asked him why is he responding to these ‘white noises.’ He also stated that if you are getting out on strike rate close to 120, you are bound to be criticized.
Just when things were settling down, former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram jumped in and defended Kohli. He was on Kohli’s side and stated that the 35-year-old is under immense pressure no matter what.
‘Virat Kohli Alone Won’t Win You Games!’
The Pakistan legend was quite frustrated over all the criticism and asked what exactly all this criticism was about. He further stated that if his team was winning, no one would have been questioning his strike rate.
Akram stated “What is the criticism about? It’s for his team losing. If a guy scores a hundred and his strike-rate is around 150, then it’s fine. If the team was winning, there would have been no criticism. Captain or no captain Kohli has always been under pressure but he continues to score. One guy cannot win you matches. It’s unfair to criticize him for no reason.”
He Is A Role Model
Akram further praised the former Indian skipper and said that he has been a role model for setting standards in IPL 2024. He praised his consistency and fitness and how he has been serving as a role model for the current generation.
“He is a role model of this generation, on and off the field. Be it his performance, fitness, consistency, anything. Be it his followers on social media, he looks good, talks well, a natural born leader and a match winner,” he said.
