Virat Kohli lauds Wriddhiman Saha’s enterprising knock against Lucknow

Flamboyant Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter, Virat Kohli took to his social media handle to express his delight in watching seasoned batter Wriddhiman Saha’s blazing knock against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

Notably, both Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants are squaring off in match 51 of the ongoing IPL 2023 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Sunday’s first doubleheader. Upon winning the toss, LSG’s stand-in skipper, Krunal Pandya decided to field first. 

However, the decision seems to have backfired as Saha swiftly hit the ground running and carved out a blazing knock. The 38-year-old raced to his half-century off mere 20 balls which featured six fours and four maximums and also raised a vital partnership with opener Shubman Gill for 100 runs for the first wicket.

Impressed by the innings, swashbuckling right-handed batter Kohli took to his social media handle to share his delight in watching the seasoned batter.
