Harbhajan Singh’s Analysis of Virat Kohli’s Dominance in RCB vs PBKS IPL 2024 Encounter
Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh recently praised Virat Kohli for stepping up for his squad in IPL 2024’s must-win match against the Punjab Kings. Harbhajan spoke with Star Sports on the inning:
“He was very lucky. He was dropped on zero and it proved so expensive. If you repeatedly give chances to such a player, he won’t spare you. What a knock it was – 92 runs off 47 balls. He played the T20 format in the true sense today. It was destructive batting.”

Harbhajan Singh continued:
“He already had the Orange Cap and his strike rate this season has been much better than earlier and today he gladdened our hearts. He showed how the intent can be maintained after the powerplay.
“He used his feet because the ball wasn’t coming onto the bat slightly. When the pace reduces, he runs forward, and then he played big shots against spinners while standing in his position. It was enjoyable to watch him bat.”
