Virender Sehwag praises Virat Kohli:
Virender Sehwag heaped praise on Virat Kohli for his match-winning performance against PBKS. While Kohli has faced criticism from several quarters for his strike-rate in T20s, Sehwag pointed out that no other batsman can do what Kohli does in the shortest format of the game.
"See, someone will hit a better shot than Kohli. Someone will hit a better six or a better four. But what he does, no one else does that. So, this is what we have to learn from him," Sehwag told Cricbuzz.
"Not just for the franchise, but he has also won many games single-handedly for the Indian team. This is why Virat Kohli is such a big player and he is called a legend or 'GOAT' because he doesn't let the match go so easily," he added.
Kohli was also adjudged the Player of the Match for his knock. He is currently the fourth-highest run-scorer in IPL 2025. The right-handed batsman has scored 322 runs in 8 games with the help of four fifties.
