As Virat Kohli’s strike rate continues to be criticized, the world’s biggest players have given their opinions on it, one of them being West Indies legend Brian Lara, who has made a massive statement about it. He said that Virat Kohli is a great player. Virat Kohli starts with a strike of 60, 100 and 130. As the ball gets a bit old and the power passes, Virat Kohli takes this strike up to 160. The strike rate also depends on the number of bats Virat Kohli is playing, the condition of the pitch, and the position of the team at that time; he added that Virat Kohli should bat at number 3, And order batting will be vital. He further said that it would not be a good decision to open Virat Kohli and Sharma; if both of them open, the middle order will be weak.
