Royal Challengers Bengaluru has performed well in the IPL 2025 and the team is currently at the top of the points table. Former captain and star batsman Virat Kohli has an important role in this. Kohli has continued to run like last season again and has scored 6 half centuries so far. Nevertheless, questions are being raised on his bat, which now Virat’s elder brother Vikas Kohli has expressed his anger over the former cricketer and commentator who raised the question.
Kohli out of the list of impact batsmen of Manjrekar
Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjreker, who is commenting on the IPL, has recently posted a list of the most effective batsmen of the season on social media. In this, Manjrekar replaced players who not only scored many runs but their strike rate is very high. Manjreker did not include Virat Kohli in his list, which is second among the highest scorers this season but his strike rate is lower than others.

Virat’s brother Sanjay Manjrekar was angry
Since then, there has been a debate whether Manjrekar is not intentionally choosing Kohli. Especially questions are being raised because whenever Kohli has scored half a century, his team has won the match. In such a case, how fair is the discussion on his strike rate? Virat’s brother Vikas Kohli may have seen the debate and he could not stop himself. In a post on social media, he mentioned Sanjay Manjrekar’s ODI strike rate, which is only 64.31. Then he further wrote, “It’s very easy to talk about over 200 strike rates.”

Vikas Kohli’s post has gone viral on social media and many people are supporting it, some are also saying that the family should not interfere with such matters. Also, some users are supporting the list of Manjrekar and his arguments. Talking about Kohli’s performance, this star batsman has so far scored 443 runs at an average of 63 in 10 games, with a strike rate of 138.87. The top 20 is the lowest among the highest scorers. However, whenever he scored, Bengaluru has won every match.
