IPL 2024: I know I need to take risks, says Kohli after vintage innings

Virat Kohli knows that he will need to take a bit more risk and said bringing out the sweep shot against the spinners has helped him to improve his strike-rate which has been under the scanner this IPL. Kohli was adjudged the Player of the Match on Thursday after he set up Royal Challengers Bengaluru's massive 60-run win over Punjab Kings with a 47-ball 92. He has amassed 634 runs at a strikerate of 153.5 and an average of 70.44 this season. "For me it's still quality over quantity. For me it works really well. Also the understanding of the game allows you to practice less, just try to replicate what I have done in the past. Still aiming to improve aspects of the game that you want to get batter at. It's an evolving process," he said during the post-match presentation. "I brought out the slogsweep against the spinners. I didn't practice it, I know I have hit it the past. Always looking to expose that side of the field against spin. I know I need to take risks, it needs a bit of ...

IPL 2024: Green lauds Kohli's vintage knock for keeping RCB in playoffs

Cameron Green lauded star batter Virat Kohli for playing a vintage innings to keep Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the race to the IPL playoffs. Kohli made full use of the three reprieves, including one on zero, to make a 47-ball 92 that set the tone for their 60-run win over Punjab Kings in a must-win match here on Thursday. He played the vintage Virat that we all know. It was a beautiful watch from the other end. That's the beauty of having Virat in your team, as opposition you can't give him that many chances, said Green in the post-match press meet. The Australian all-rounder, who helped himself to a 27-ball 46, said Kohli was trying to be aggressive and the drops did not affect him. He's always going to make you hurt, especially if you drop him three or four times. Early in his innings, he was trying to be really aggressive. I think he looked like after a couple of dropped catches, he didn't have much to lose, added Green. The Bengaluru side still need to win their remaining t
