Rashid Khan has revealed an interesting story regarding Virat Kohli during IPL 2022. Virat was going through a rough spell in the IPL 2022, where he scored just a couple of half-centuries in the tournament. Interestingly, both these half-centuries came against Gujarat Titans.
Rashid revealed that Virat batted for two and half hours in the nets ahead of the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans. He said that he was so shocked to see Virat bat for such a long interval as the nets of the Titans was already finished, but Virat was still batting.
“During the IPL, we had a match the next day against RCB. In the nets, I was just counting the time Virat was out there. To be honest, he batted for two and half hours. Main aisa hairan hua. Our nets were finished and still, he was there batting. The next day, he scored around 70 against us. His mindset is very positive,” Rashid Khan said to Sawera Pasha, as quoted by Hindustan Times.
Rashid added that the way Virat bats, he does not seem to be out of form at all. He insists that Virat has set the bar so high for him that he is expected to score runs in every possible match.
