They kept bowling short pitch and slow balls to Virat Kohli. Result- A strike rate of 123 after playing 35 balls. This is very disappointing on this pitch. This was Irfan Pathan's reaction to Virat Kohli's batting in the IPL 2025 final. When Royal Challengers Bangalore could score only 190 runs while batting first against Punjab Kings. Then Michael Clarke said that RCB cannot win. One cannot win on this pitch with a score of less than 200. When even the legends were not able to understand Virat's innings, then what to say about the trolls?
There is no doubt that Virat Kohli started getting trolled even before the final result. It was something like what happened in the T20 World Cup final a year ago. Even then Virat had scored the most runs for India. But until India won, Virat's critics were very active in trolling him on social media. Hasty trolls kept showing again and again that they know more about cricket than Virat Kohli.
The final of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) was played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings on Tuesday. Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first on a batting-friendly pitch. A score of more than 200 was expected on this pitch but RCB could only score 190 runs. Virat Kohli scored the highest 43 runs for RCB but he was also trolled for his slow innings.
The Punjab Kings team started well while chasing the target. At one point, they had scored 72 runs for 1 wicket. But after this, the bowlers took wickets quickly and made RCB come back. In the end, Punjab Kings could only score 184 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. In this way, RCB won the match by 6 runs and ended the 18-year wait for the trophy.
The top-5 batsmen scored more than 20 runs in this match for RCB. Captain Rajat Patidar got out after scoring 26 runs, Liam Livingstone 25, Mayank Agarwal 24, and Jitesh Sharma 24 runs. Romario Shepherd scored 17 and Phil Salt scored 16 runs. Krunal Pandya gave the best performance in bowling for RCB. He took 2 wickets for just 17 runs in a spell of 4 overs.
