Simon Doull Criticizes Virat
Virat Kohli is running in excellent form in IPL 2023, and against Lucknow, he scored 61 runs in 44 balls, hitting 4 fours and 4 sixes. The fans are pleased with Kohli’s innings. Still, former New Zealand cricketer and famous commentator Simon Doull criticized Virat’s innings and termed them slow innings, and innings played for personal records.
What Did Simon Doull Say?
Simon Doull termed Virat Kohli’s innings 61 runs as innings played for personal interest. Doull said Kohli had scored 42 runs in 25 balls during his innings. And he was running like a high-speed train but played ten balls to achieve the subsequent eight runs to complete his half-century. It seemed as if he was worried about his record. It would be best if you didn’t play like that at this game level, especially when you have wickets left. This statement Doull is viral on social media.
Babar Has Also Been Criticized
Before IPL, Simon Doull did commentary in Pakistan Super League, i.e. PSL. On March 8, Babar Azam scored a stormy half-century against Quetta Gladiators and scored 115 runs in 65 balls. Despite Babar’s innings, Doull criticized him and said Babar played seven balls to reach 100 from 94.
He was also playing the whole toss ball safely to avoid getting out. He was doing this to score a century. They were looking at their records before the team. After cutting the century, he scored the subsequent 15 runs in 5 balls. After this statement, Doull had to face mixed reactions.
