Virat Kohli's strike rate was heavily criticized De Villiers said- he used to give the same instructions to his teammates against Kohli
New Delhi. Virat Kohli will score more than 700 runs in IPL 2024. He scored more than 700 runs for the second time in the history of this league, which is the highest among Indian batsmen. Before this, Virat had scored more than 900 runs in the year 2016. At the beginning of the current season of IPL, RCB had lost 7 out of 8 matches. During this period, Kohli was also criticized a lot. Questions were raised on Virat's strike rate. Even the legendary Sunil Gavaskar had strongly criticized Virat and raised questions on his intentions. Now South African legend AB de Villiers has also jumped into this controversy. De Villiers says that it is not appropriate to talk like this about Virat because after this he becomes more dangerous.
AB de Villiers, while talking to Geo Cinema, recalled the days when he used to play against Virat Kohli. He said that when I used to play against Virat Kohli, I used to tell my fellow players not to say anything to Virat Kohli. This is because if you tease him today, he is forced to perform at his best.
De Villiers said this about Virat
AB de Villiers said, 'It is very sad when such things happen against a country's role model like Virat Kohli. As far as I know him. I have mentioned this in my show earlier. You probably don't know what happens when he is criticized. I have played against him for many years. I used to tell my teammates in the team room that you should not say a single word to Virat Kohli on the pitch. If you tell him anything, he will score a century. I think he gets motivated by criticism and performs better.
