In a recent cricket analysis video shared by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), veteran cricketer Dinesh Karthik expressed disbelief at the staggering strike rate metrics of England’s explosive batter Phil Salt.
Breaking down Salt’s numbers, Karthik said, “Phil Salt 28% of the times gets 6 to 8 runs an over and 30 percent of the times gets 12 to 15 runs an over.” Responding to another analyst who pointed out that “35% is high,” DK doubled down with a humorous reaction: “1 in 2 overs basically he goes 12 runs+. How is that even physically possible?”
The reaction underscores the aggressive batting prowess Salt has shown in recent years, especially in T20 formats. With such data-backed insights, RCB’s behind-the-scenes content continues to build anticipation among fans ahead of IPL 2025.
