Virat Kohli again gave statement regarding strike rate, said this after playing an inning of 92 runs in 47 balls

The 58th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2204 was played between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In this game, which took place at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, the Royal Challengers of Bengal beat Punjab by 60 runs, maintaining their chances of making it to the postseason.

With the help of seven fours and six sixes, their former captain Virat Kohli once again batted brilliantly for the RCB, amassing 92 runs in 47 balls during this game. He had a strike percentage of 195.74 during this time. In the 2024 Indian Premier League, Kohli is consistently scoring runs. However, his strike rate has been the subject of inquiries for some time. He has received criticism for this from numerous former cricket players and cricket commentators.

Kohli was chosen 'Player of the Match' for his strong innings. While receiving the award after the match, Kohli also responded on his strike rate. He said laughingly, 'It was important to maintain my strike rate during the innings, so I wanted to maintain the rhythm. My focus was just on taking the momentum forward, when Rajat was out it was a difficult time. There was a break in the match due to rain and hailstorm.
