Virat Kohli was surprised when RCB batsman hit Rashid Khan for 4 sixes in one over – watch. cricket news

Royal Challengers Bangalore veteran batsman Virat Kohli heaped special praise on his teammate Will Jack after he scored his maiden T20 century at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. “Extraordinary” was the word Kohli used to describe man of the match Will’s 100* against Gujarat Titans, an innings that unleashed power strokes and the emotions of RCB fans. The experienced Englishman provided much-needed firepower to the batting unit which Bengaluru missed on several occasions in their unsuccessful season. Jacques hit ten sixes in his 41-ball century, which is the fifth highest century in the history of this cash-rich league.

“Phenomenal, I mean when he initially came to bat (at Jax), he was a bit upset that he couldn’t hit the ball as cleanly as he wanted, but the only conversation we had in between was to keep batting back. Be committed because we know how explosive he can be, as soon as he gave the big over to Mohit, my role completely changed, I was happy to watch the game from the other end, I thought we were going to win. The game could have ended in 19 overs, but to end it in 15 overs was an excellent effort,” Kohli said after the game.

While the Englishmen forced the fielders to chase the ball all over the field, Kohli also made it difficult for the GT bowlers to find their rhythm.

Although Kohli enthralled the crowd with his sophisticated shots, he was happy to see Jacques score runs from the non-striker’s end.

“I think it was one of the best T20 centuries ever, I was happy to see it close at the other end. The wicket was quite good, I mean in the latter half of their innings, it started to settle And maybe that was the reason why both teams wanted to bowl first, it was obvious, the temperature dropped, it got cooler and as the wicket calmed down, the ball started coming on the bat well, I was just having fun there. Hitting boundaries when needed. We never let the run-rate go below 10 RPOs (runs per over) while chasing and that’s what Jacques did in the end,” Kohli said.

Talking about the match, after GT was invited to bat, explosive innings from Sai Sudarshan (86*) and Shahrukh Khan (58) took the hosts to a competitive total of 200/3.

In reply, after the dismissal of captain Faf du Plessis, Kohli and Jacques shook up the GT bowling unit with a 166* run partnership to give RCB a 9-wicket win.
