IPL 2024: Kohli Said Deliveries Were Not Carrying Through On Pitch, His Batting Didn’t Make It Look Like That, Says Jadeja
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja felt the manner in which talismanic batter Virat Kohli made his eighth IPL century against Rajasthan Royals didn’t make it look like deliveries were two-paced in nature, which would make strokeplay difficult at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Kohli was pristine in hitting 12 fours and four sixes to make an unbeaten 113 off 72 balls, also his third century in his last seven IPL innings to level his highest score in the competition. He went hard in scoring against pace, making 67 off 39 balls, while accumulating 46 off 33 balls against spin.
Kohli hit almost 62% runs of RCB’s total of 183/3, while the rest of the batters made 59 runs from 48 balls, though RCB lost to RR by six wickets, with Jos Buttler making an unbeaten 58-ball century. 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.
