Virat Kohli's strike rate has been a topic of discussion for the last few weeks. Critics say that Kohli needs to increase his strike rate. In IPL 2024, he started fast several times but then slowed down. RCB's star batsman Virat has scored 295 runs in 9 matches so far in the 17th season at an average of 61.43 and strike rate of 145.76. , At the same time, former Indian opener and KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir has given a strong statement on the ongoing debate regarding Kohli's strike rate, which will make Kohli's fans happy.

Strike rate depends on the situation

Gambhir said in an interview, “Nobody cares if your team is winning. But if your team loses, criticism starts. Critics bring out all those things which make it appear that the team is losing. But every player's game is different. Virat could not do today what Glenn Maxwell can do. Also, the work that Virat can do, Maxwell cannot do. Gambhir further said, “Strike rate will be very important in the future. Strike rate is directly related to the conditions. If you have lost two or four wickets inside 50 runs then you cannot expect a batsman to play at a strike rate of 170. If you have not lost any wicket after scoring 80 runs in 6 overs, then the strike rate will have to be increased.

There must be a team combination

he adds. If you pick the same type of players from number one to number eight, you can score 300 runs and be all out for 30 runs. A good team means having all types of players in your setup. But ultimately victory is important for the team. If you bat at a strike rate of 100 and your team wins, that strike rate is quite good. But if you bat at a strike rate of 180 and the team loses, no one will care.
