Kevin Pietersen has compared India star Virat Kohli to Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, describing the pair are "right at the top" of their respective sports.
Kohli has been enduring a tough time in the IPL so far, with the 33-year-old averaging just 20.66 and getting out for nought three times in just ten innings. However, he showed some signs of form with a half-century in Royal Challengers Bangalore's recent clash with Gujarat Titans, ending a run of five innings where he had failed to pass 12.
Despite reaching the landmark, Kohli took 45 deliveries to get there, making it the second slowest of his 48 IPL half-centuries. When he was eventually out for 58 off 53 balls, Kohli's strike rate of 109.43 was his slowest in all T20s.
