IPL 2024: 'Sometimes Your Job Is To Take Game Deeper', Finch Defends Kohli's Innings Vs SRH
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch defended Virat Kohli's innings after the star Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter scored 43-ball 51 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), saying sometimes a set batter's role is to take the game deeper, which somewhere limit the intent to hit boundaries.
While opening the inning for RCB, Kohli was quick in power play as he scored 23 in just 11 deliveries but he laboured to score his next 28 runs in 32 deliveries due to some tight overs from T Natarajan and Shahbaz Ahmed.
However, the presence of Rajat Patidar did not let RCB's scoring rate drop. He came into the game with a strike rate of 125 against pacers and 197 against spinners in this IPL, and banked on his strength to score 20 ball fifty-- the joint second-fastest fifty in RCB's history, which powered Faf du Plessis' side to 206 in 20 overs, later winning the game by 35 runs.
