Friday April 9: Virat Kohli is in that stage of his career where he is on the top of achieving a new milestone in every match he plays, be it at the international level or in the IPL. As he gears up for the 14th season of IPL, the RCB captain is nearing a few major landmarks. Kohli has not been at his best in the IPL in the recent past.
In the first match against Mumbai Indians Virat gets beaten by the pace of Bumrah and misses a pretty straight delivery to get struck on the front knee roll in front of middle and loses his wicket as lbw. He hits 33 runs in 29 balls.
He was in peak form in the T20 series and the ODI series against England, Kohli will look to do the bulk of the scoring. Keep in mind, the RCB skipper will be opening the batting for his franchise this year.
In the IPL so far, Virat Kohli has accumulated 5878 runs in 184 innings. He has scored these runs at an average of 38.16, and a strike rate of 130.73. The Run Machine requires 122 more runs to become the first cricketer in IPL history to achieve the 6000-run mark.
