Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is performing brilliantly with the bat in IPL 2025.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) spin bowling coach Malolan Rangarajan has made a big statement about Virat Kohli’s better strike rate against spinners in IPL 2025. He said that this Indian superstar does not need to spend extra hours to improve his game against spin. Kohli’s playing against spinners in the middle overs has been questioned in the IPL before, but talking about last year, Malolan said that it is not fair to isolate Kohli.

Malolan gave a big statement about Virat Kohli

Malolan said before the match against Delhi Capitals on Sunday, “Last season it was not only Virat who was not batting at the desired strike rate. But it was the whole team. So I think it happened with the whole team.

And that’s what happened. This is the first part. “He said, “The second part is about Virat Kohli personally. He does not need to practice extra against left-arm spin and leg spin. He has batted for 20-25 years.

Malolan said, “He is a talented player. He just has to decide what he wants to do and how he wants to deal with a particular bowler.” He said, “He is constantly trying to improve even after playing for so long. Which is unbelievable for me.” Kohli was the highest run scorer in IPL 2024 with 741 runs, in which his strike rate against fast bowling and spin was 168.79 and 137.9 respectively. Half of the league matches of the current season have been played and his strike rate against fast bowling and spin is 147.76 and 140.57. If his team progresses in the tournament, Kohli can also top the list of run scorers. Malolan said, “The way he comes to every training session, every match. Looking at this, I don’t think he has done anything special physically (on his spin play).”
