Bengaluru, March 26 (press ki taqaut bureau): Virat Kohli, the Indian cricketer, made it clear that he is more than just a marketing tool for T20 cricket. Despite the speculation surrounding his place in the team for the upcoming World Cup, he proved his worth with an impressive performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Kohli, who recently returned from a paternity break, scored a match-winning 77 off 49 balls and was rightfully awarded the player of the match.
He addressed the notion that his name is only associated with promoting the game, stating that he still has the skills to make a significant impact on the field. His comments come in response to the ongoing media discussions about the team’s composition for the tournament. Former players, including Kevin Pietersen, have questioned whether Kohli’s selection would be based on merit or his star appeal.
However, Kohli’s statistics speak for themselves, with an average of over 50 and a strike rate of 138.15 in T20 cricket. His ability to adapt and evolve in the format was evident in his elegant shots against the fast bowlers during the match. Kohli acknowledged the need to constantly improve his game, especially when faced with challenges posed by talented opponents.
