IPL 2025: Strike Rate and Baat 200 Ki’, Vikas Kohli’s taut on Sanjay Manjrekar

Delhi: Vikas Kohli, brother of Indian team veteran batsman Virat Kohli, has expressed displeasure over the recent remarks of former cricketer and current commentator Sanjay Manjrekar. Manjrekar had said about Virat that his best phase has now passed and he does not include him among the top 10 batsmen of IPL 2025. Vikas Kohli was very hurt by this statement and he retaliated on social media.

Vikas Kohli’s answer

Vikas Kohli wrote on threads, “Mr. Sanjay Manjrekar. ODI Career Strike Rate 64.3. It’s easy to talk about 200 plus strike rates.” He reminded Manjrekar of his own cricket career and said that those who have had very low strike rates, should think before criticizing others.

Manjrekar’s controversial comment

Sanjay Manjrekar recently said that the collision of Virat Kohli vs Jaspreet Bumrah cannot be called ‘Best Verses Best’ because Virat has now come down from his summit. Not only this, he also said that he does not consider Kohli as the top 10 batsmen of IPL 2025.

Kohli’s brilliant IPL performance

Unlike this statement, Virat Kohli is currently in the best form. He has so far scored 443 runs in 10 matches in IPL 2025 and has also scored 6 half -centuries. He is involved in the race for the Orange Cap and only Sai Sudarshan of Gujarat Titans is ahead of him, whose names are 456 runs.

Comparison of strike rate of both

If you look at the figures, then it does not seem right to compare between Manjrekar and Kohli. Manjrekar has played 74 ODIs for India in his career, in which he scored 1994 runs at an average of 33.23 and his strike rate was just 64.3. At the same time, Kohli’s strike rate is more than 90 and he has been at the top in scoring runs.
