In a remarkable display of skill and consistency, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) Virat Kohli achieved multiple milestones during the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). Kohli’s third half-century of the season propelled him to a total of 400 runs, further solidifying his stature as one of the tournament’s standout performers.
Notably, Kohli also reached the milestone of 4,000 runs as an opener in the IPL, underlining his dominance in the world’s richest T20 tournament. With an impressive average of 61.43 across nine matches this season, Kohli’s highest score of 113* stands as a testament to his batting prowess.
However, Kohli’s innings came to an end when a slower bouncer from Jaydev Unadkat claimed his wicket at 51 runs. Despite the setback, Kohli’s resilient half-century, combined with Rajat Patidar’s explosive 50 off 20 deliveries, powered RCB to a formidable total of 206/7 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
RCB’s innings was marked by strong partnerships, with Kohli and skipper Faf du Plessis providing a solid start, followed by Rajat Patidar’s sensational onslaught over Mayank Markande. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, RCB managed to post a competitive total, showcasing the team’s depth and determination.
As Kohli continues to lead from the front with his stellar performances, RCB remains a force to be reckoned with in the IPL 2024 season.
