Wouldn't point fingers at Virat Kohli: Michael Clarke

, 7 news, 2 views

It is tough being Virat Kohli at the moment. The current 'Orang Cap' holder in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign, is breaking records with the bat, yet facing criticism as his team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, isn't able to register wins. On Saturday, Kohli scored an unbeaten 113, his best in the T20 league, yet he found himself making headlines for the wrong reasons. As fans and pundits question Kohli's strike-rate and intent behind the 113-run knock, Pakistan cricketer Junaid Khan brutally trolled the India star for scoring the 'slowest century in the history of IPL'.

Against Rajasthan, Virat smashed 4 sixes and 12 boundaries during his 113-run unbeaten knock off 72 balls. It is his joint-best score in the T20 league, having registered the same score back in 2016 against Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings).

But, the knock is also the joint-slowest in the history of IPL, matching Manish Pandey's 67-ball ton, scored in 2009.
