If Kohli had scored a century, he would have been praised for two months, why did Harbhajan Singh say this?

IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals opener Josh Butler scored his second century in the current season of IPL and contributed significantly to the team's victory. Former Indian cricketer and commentator Harbhajan Singh has praised the way Butler held one end after Rajasthan lost wickets against Kolkata and led the team to a memorable victory.

Dhoni's three consecutive sixes are still in discussion

Harbhajan appealed to the fans that we should respect Butler like Kohli-Dhoni. If Kohli had scored a century like Butler, his praise would have faded for two months. The three consecutive sixes hit by Chennai (CSK) legend Mahendra Dhoni in the last four balls against Mumbai are still in the news. Then we should appreciate this classic innings of Butler with sportsmanship.

Butler scored this seventh century in IPL

Butler overtook Gayle and scored his seventh century in IPL history. Now only Kohli is ahead of him who has scored eight centuries. Harbhajan said, Butler is a special player. Its level is completely different. Also, this is not the first time he has done this. He has done this before and we will see such innings from him in future too. He is really an amazing player. We are not talking about him specifically because he is not an Indian player.

Butler should get respect like Dhoni-Kohli: Harbhajan

Harbhajan said that we should give Butler as much respect as Dhoni and Kohli. We should appreciate Butler's play the same way we appreciate the accomplishments and play of our players. He is also a great player of this game. It is difficult to remain patient when batsmen are getting out from the opposite end. However, Butler has batted as per the requirement. Along with singles and doubles, he has also hit fours and sixes. This is rarely seen.
