IPL 2024: 'Can't Sit And Speak From A Box', Virat Kohli Slams Strike-rate Critics

Narendra Modi Stadium: Coming down heavily on all those who criticised him for his slow strike rate in previous matches, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) stylish batter Virat Kohli on Sunday said people can't be speaking about his numbers while "sitting in a box and not getting a feel of what's happening in the middle".

After a match-winning 70 off 44 balls against Gujarat Titans here, Kohli tore into his critics in a strongly worded statement. The former RCB captain was animated throughout the match as if he was on a mission. Kohli has faced a lot of social media trolls in recent times for his poor strike rate. But on Sunday, he once again managed to silence all those criticising him.

Kohli was quick to share his thoughts with the commentators, by saying, “All the people who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well...Other ones who love talking about this stuff. But for me, it's just about winning the game for the team and there's a reason why you do it for 15 years. Because you've done this day and day out you won games for your teams. I am not quite sure if you've not been in that situation yourself. To sit and speak about the game from a box."
