'He Has Evolved As A Batter...': Pujara Lauds Virat Kohli's Changed T20 Game
Last Updated: Cheteshwar Pujara has lauded Virat Kohli's adaptability and fitness, highlighting his crucial role in RCB's IPL win with 657 runs at a strike rate of 144.71. Star India cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara has said that since Virat Kohli is one of the fittest cricketers and open to adapting to a new challenge, he was still open to changing how he played T20s towards the latter half of his career, which played a crucial part in Royal Challengers Bengaluru winning the IPL title. Kohli yet again finished as the highest run-scorer for the franchise this season, with 657 runs in 15 matches at a stunning average of 54.75 at a strike rate of 144.71. In the last few seasons, Kohli was criticised for his strike rate by fans and experts, and Pujara said that the former was able to silence it with his performances. 'It's not easy, but the good part about Virat is that he is one of the fittest cricketers, and he is open to adapting to a new challenge or something different. He is always open to learning new things," Pujara said while speaking on Star Sports. 'People have been criticising him in the past for not batting at a strike rate of 140-150. Now, if you look at his batting this season, he has answered that question. He has batted at a strike rate of 140-150 and above. So he has evolved as a batter," Pujara added. The star Indian cricketer said that Kohli's wish to learn shows how big a cricketer he is. Pujara and the former have batted together for the longest time in Tests. 'It doesn't come naturally. You need to work on it and even to work on it at this age, when he is 36 and has played the game for such a long time, if you are still willing to learn and make a difference to the team, that shows how big a player he is," Pujara said. Perhaps mindful of the tragedy outside the stadium, Kohli wasn't his usual exuberant self but still managed to draw emotional roars from spectators who thronged the Chinnaswamy Stadium to be a part of RCB's maiden IPL trophy win celebrations in Bengaluru on Wednesday. 'I'm going to start by repeating what our captain (Rajat Patidar) said (during the trophy presentation ceremony on Tuesday night). It's no more ee sala cup namde, it's ee sala cup namdu," Kohli said.
