‘i don’t have an agenda…’: sunil gavaskar’s responds to virat kohli after rcb star slams strike-rate critics
Virat Kohli has been in red-hot form in IPL 2024, scoring 500 runs in 10 games, however, his strike rate has been questioned by critics. Kohli has particularly struggled against the spinners, but the batter looked in no trouble whatsoever as he blasted a magnificent 70 in 44 balls at a strike rate of 159. Kohli scored 61 runs at a strike rate of 179 against the spinners, making a huge statement. After his fiery innings, Kohli went on an explosive rant against the critics.
“All the people who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well are the ones talking about low strike-rate,” Kohli had said during an interview.
“For me, it’s about winning the games for the team and there is a reason why you’ve done it for 15 years, you’ve done this day in and day out, you’ve won games for your teams, I’m not quite sure that if you haven’t been in that situation yourself, to sit and talk about the game from the box,” he added.

Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was irked at Virat Kohli’s reply to the critics and blasted him, saying that his strike rate was only questioned when he got out after playing an innings at a strike rate of 120.
“Commentators questioned only when the strike rate was 118. I’m not too sure. I don’t watch too many matches, so I don’t know what the other commentators have said otherwise. But if you have a strike of 118 and then you get out in the 14th or the 15th with a strike-rate of 118, I mean, if you want applause for that, that’s a little bit different. That’s different,” said Gavaskar.
“All these guys talk about, oh we don’t care about outside noise. Then why are you replying to any outside noise or whatever it is. We all played a bit of cricket, not a lot of cricket. We don’t have agendas. We speak about what we see. We don’t necessarily have any likes and dislikes. Even if we have likes and dislikes, we actually speak on what is happening,” said Gavaskar.
