Delhi: Great batsman Virat Kohli is not interested in any introduction. Right -handed batter is the only player who has played for only one team in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) so far.
The 36 -year -old cricketer has been serving Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) since 2008. In 2011, when his career was gaining momentum, he won his first Man of the Match Award in the IPL.
For your information, let us know that in that match chasing the target of 161 runs given by Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), Virat played a brilliant and match -winning innings of 56 runs off 38 balls. In the same match, Chris Gayle also made 26 runs in 14 balls, making a fast start.
What did the veteran RCB player say in his interview?
Virat Kohli had said, “To tell the truth, there was no plan to play like this in my beginning, but when I started hitting the ball well, I decided to play an aggressive role myself. My aim was to get Gayle a chance to play openly and I could also try my shots, because I was able to make the ball time.”
Recently, in a Xiograph show, Virat watched the old post-match presentation video and gave his response. He laughed and said, “I did not even remember what I had said. I wanted Chris to play the shot openly… Look at the misunderstanding.” Virat also said that during the social media era, the fans have started analyzing the things of the players very seriously.
Significantly, this 2011 interview is now 14 years old. During this, Kohli has achieved many places in cricket. During IPL 2025, he has crossed the 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. He has become the first Indian and the fifth player of the world to do so. He has brought himself to the queue of the legendary players of the white ball by scoring 13,050 runs in the 403 T20 matches played so far.
