Mumbai Police posts a cryptic comment regarding Virat Kohli’s innings against KKR in the 2023 IPL

Two elite teams squared up in the 36th game of the 2023 Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. RCB won the toss, and captain Virat Kohli made the smart decision to bowl first in a place like M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Beginning nicely to chase down the massive total posted by the Kolkata Knight Riders, Kohli, with Faf du Plessis, was immediately on the pace bowlers as they searched for boundaries. Suyash Sharma, who plays for the Kolkata franchise, was the team’s deadly bowler and showed that by taking off two members of the top order in Faf du Plessis as well as Shahbaz Ahmed. Glenn Maxwell entered and left shortly after being fired by Varun Chakravarthy, his arch-enemy on the field.

Six boundaries were part of the right-handed batter’s 54 runs off 37 balls at a strike rate of 145.95. The Delhi batter got off to a strong start on the powerplay, tallying 33 runs in just 19 balls, but he was unable to pick up the pace following the powerplay. Despite Royal Challengers Bangalore’s asking rate continuing to rise to above 10 runs per over, Kohli struck 21 off of 18 without the benefit of a power play.

Despite RCB’s asking rate continuing to rise to above 10 runs per over, Kohli struck 21 off of 18 without the benefit of a powerplay.  After the team lost early wickets, Virat Kohli continued to bat at the crease and was accompanied by Mahipal Lomror to advance the innings.

What post was published by the Mumbai Police on Twitter regarding the slow innings of Virat Kohli?

Although Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Lomror and Andre Russell took the crucial wicket of Virat Kohli in the next over, Lomror had amassed some significant runs, scoring 34 runs in just 18 balls. Royal Challengers Bangalore ended up losing the game by 21 runs to the Kolkata Knight Riders and the majority of the blame went to Virat Kohli and even the Mumbai Police sent out a cryptic post.

Slow down at the zebra crossing, just like Virat Kohli used to slow down near the 50.#RCBvKKR | #MumbaiPolice pic.twitter.com/3pD7NrCkjS
