Virat Kohli may have mustered a fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday, but his knock wasn’t without its inconsistencies. A clear difference in approach and his strike rate was evident between his batting during the powerplay and after the fielding restrictions were relaxed.
Kohli, often criticized for his calculative approach with five fielders outside the circle, once again showed a tendency to slow down post-powerplay.
