Virat Kohli feels the double-paced track in Jaipur makes stroke play difficult, but former India ODI captain Ajay Jadeja feels the The way the star hitter hit the ball, there seemed to be little devil in the 22-yard run. Kohli scored an unbeaten 113 off 72 balls with 12 fours and four sixes, but RCB managed only 183/3 in 20 overs and were beaten by Rajasthan Royals went beyond with 5 balls to spare, courtesy of Jos Buttler’s 58-ball ton.
Jadeja, a keen cricketing brain, felt that there seemed to be some discrepancies between what Kohli observed and the overall performance of the pitch throughout the match.
“He (Kohli) started really well. He hit a few boundaries in the first few overs and you knew you were going to see something special tonight. The only thing that was surprising was what he said about how to proceed on the field Delivered. , but the way he batted the ball, we didn’t see any shortcomings on the pitch,” said ‘Jio Cinema’ IPL expert Jadeja.
After scoring his eighth IPL hundred, Kohli said the pitch was not flat and “the wicket looked different from outside. It felt like it was flat but the ball stayed still on the pitch and that’s what you realize It’s time for a change of pace,” Kohli told the official broadcaster on Saturday night.
It was Kohli’s shot that convinced Jadeja that there was no flaw on the surface.
“In terms of his shooting, there wasn’t a corner where he didn’t spike the ball. What he said made us think there might be something wrong on the pitch, but from the way he played, there wasn’t anything wrong.” The single shortcoming visible. . “
Another Jio Cinema expert Shane Watson feels that the 17th edition of IPL could end up being Sanju Samson’s breakout season.
“He showed his intention with the first ball in his own cool, calm, collected way. A strike rate of 130 in the first 10 balls means you’re not just trying to get the ball. You’re waiting for a loose ball and he Really gets the ball out. ‘Right away, he’s going to make plays on the merits of the ball because of his skill set,’ Watson said.
“If a bowler bowls a slightly loose ball, Samson scores runs very freely because of all the shot options he has. You can see his composure and he continues to score match after match. To do that, there’s no reason why he can’t have a very successful game.
“I actually predict that he will have a long and successful campaign with the bat in the IPL this year,” the former CSK and Royals star said.
