IPL 2021: Virat Kohli's natural game is to get momentum in powerplay, strike rates are overrated - Gautam Gambhir
India Today
IPL 2021: Gautam Gambhir said that the presence of Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers allows Virat Kohli to play his natural game in T20 cricket, which is to gain momentum in the powerplays and then drop anchor.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli tends to slow down after the powerplay in the Indian Premier League (IPL) because he is mostly batting with Glenn Maxwell or AB de Villiers at the other end after that and prefers to play the role of an anchor while they play the big shots, said Gautam Gambhir.
The former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain also said that while Kohli's pacing of his innings will be dependent on the conditions, gaining momentum in the powerplay and then dropping anchor is the India skipper's natural game in T20 cricket.
