IPL 2024: Ian Bishop Apologises For Saying Virat Kohli Took ‘just’ 39 Balls For Reaching Fifty
Former West Indies: Former West Indies fast-bowler-turned-acclaimed commentator Ian Bishop apologised on social media for saying talismanic batter Virat Kohli took “just” 39 balls to reach his fifty while making an unbeaten 113 against Rajasthan Royals.
At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday evening, Kohli took 39 balls to reach his fifty and later brought up his eighth IPL century in 67 balls on his way to making 113 not out in 72 balls, laced with 12 fours and four sixes.
Interestingly, Kohli’s 67-ball ton is the joint-slowest century in IPL, leveling with a hundred made by Manish Pandey in same number of balls against DC in 2009, which reignited the debate of him playing with a lower strike-rate on social media.
