Glenn McGrath praised Virat Kohli’s white-ball form during the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026, acknowledging his ability to anchor and finish chases under pressure. Kohli’s recent unbeaten knock of 69 for RCB showcased his skill in helping the team chase down a target of over 200 runs. McGrath noted the changing nature of the IPL with rising scoring rates, emphasizing the trend of teams winning the toss and choosing to field first. He highlighted the evolution of T20 cricket where chasing has become the preferred strategy due to improved batting depth and fearless intent.
In addition to Kohli, McGrath also commended emerging Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna for his development and potential. He praised Krishna’s performance in the IPL and mentioned his growth as a bowler since working with him at the MRF Pace Foundation. Krishna’s three-wicket haul in the Gujarat Titans’ opening match demonstrated his bowling prowess, although it wasn’t enough to secure a win for the team. McGrath sees Krishna as an exceptional bowler with a promising future in the sport.
