After Virat Kohli had his say in the strike rate debate, KL Rahul too broke his silence on the issue after being found at the receiving end by fans recently.
After winning the toss against the Kolkata Knigth Riders on Sunday, the Lucknow Super Giants skipper said, 'We will bowl first. I'm not a best reader of a wicket, we just like chasing. The good thing is we have been able to adapt really well and quickly to the conditions, there have been quite a few brilliant individual performances as well. There's been a lot of talk about strike-rate, and T20 cricket has changed a lot in the last couple of years.'
Virat Kohli himself had recently spoken out about the scrutiny over his strike rate.
“All the people who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well are the ones talking about this stuff. For me, it’s about winning games for the team and there’s a reason why you’ve done it for 15 years, you’ve done this day in and day out, you’ve won games for your teams,” he said during a post-match presentation."
“I’m not quite sure if you haven’t been in that situation yourself, to sit and talk about the game from the box. For me, people can talk about their assumptions day in and day out, but those who have done (it) day in and day out, they know what’s happening and it’s a kind of muscle memory for me now,” he said.
