'I don't think we've been discussing it...' - Ajit Agarkar breaks silence on Virat Kohli's struggles against spinners and his poor strike rate

India's selector, Ajit Agarkar, was recently asked about Virat Kohli's strike rate in the T20I format, to which he came up with a great answer. Notably, Virat Kohli has been in great form in the IPL 2024; however, his strike rate is very poor, and his struggles against the spinner are the main worry for the national side ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, which is slated to take place on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA.

Meanwhile, Ajit Agarkar has clarified that he is not going to discuss Kohli's strike rate while talking about his form in the IPL 2024. The former India all-rounder revealed that they aren't worried about Virat Kohli's strike rate and revealed his importance in the T20 World Cup 2024.

"I don't think we've been discussing it. Look, he has been in great form fortunately in the IPL, so there are no concerns there at all with regards to how it's going [for Kohli] in the IPL. I mean we've obviously got some reinforcements. That's the whole thing, but you want some experience in your team," Ajit Agarkar said in the Press Conference.

All the people who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well: Virat Kohli

However, Virat Kohli recently made an unbeaten 70 runs from 44 balls against GT in their last clash and guided the side to an epic win. Following the same, the star batter clarified that he doesn't care about people talking about his strike rate and his struggles against the spinners. The swashbuckling batter talked about the team's winning importance over his strike rate and struggled against spinners.

"All the people who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well are the ones who love talking about this stuff. But for me, it's just about winning the game for the team. And there's a reason why you do it for 15 years - because you've done this day in [and] day out; you've won games for your teams. I am not quite sure if you've been in that situation yourself to sit and speak about the game from a box," Virat Kohli said after the innings.
