IPL 2026: ‘Kohli’s Half-century Came At A Slightly Slower Pace Vs MI, He Wasn’t Fully Satisfied,’ Says Harbhajan
In a high-scoring encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, RCB posted a formidable 240/4, with Kohli contributing a half-century alongside aggressive knocks from Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar. While Kohli reached his fifty, Harbhajan noted that the tempo of his innings was measured rather than explosive.
“Virat Kohli’s half-century came at a slightly slower pace. You could see he wasn’t fully satisfied, especially with the way Phil Salt was scoring at the other end. But his role was crucial. He ensured there were no early wickets and provided stability at the top. While players like Rajat Patidar and Salt played more aggressively, Kohli anchored the innings and allowed them to play their natural game. Against someone like Jasprit Bumrah, he was very cautious and played him intelligently, but he made sure to capitalise on the other bowlers whenever there was an opportunity,” he told JioStar.
