Virat Kohli's Stunning Act After Reaching Fifty Confirms His Ultimate Aim

26.04.2024 - 05:29 sports.ndtv.com

Virat Kohli, a player who always finds a way to remain in the headlines, became another bit point of discussion after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Thursday.

Kohli scored a half-century, providing an important contribution to the team's triumph. If it wasn't for his 51-run knock, RCB might not have managed to put an end to their 6-game losing streak.

But, Kohli once again became a hot subject of chatter on social media for the number of balls (43) he consumed for his 51. Kohli, who reached his half-century in 37 balls, found it tough to hit boundaries once the powerplay was over.

In the second-half of his innings, Virat could only rotate the strike, bringing in the on-song Rajat Patidar into play more often.

Every single time a conversation between a wicket-keeper and a player on the field takes place, its glimpses get caught on the stump mic. As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Saturday, an epic chat between Virat Kohli and Wriddhiman Saha was caught on the stump mic. With not a big total to defend on the board, Saha urged his teammates to do their best in stopping the flow of runs. But, Kohli had an epic response up his sleeves.

Mohammed Siraj's self-belief and never-say-die attitude are his real strengths, said batting legend Sunil Gavaskar after the pacer set up Royal Challengers Bengaluru's four-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. Siraj's two-wicket burst in the powerplay to remove Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha played a crucial role as GT could manage just 147 all-out in 19.3 overs on Saturday. "Every time you see Mohammed Siraj, you know that he's going to give his heart out. Remember the time when his father passed away when he was in Australia. He carried on," Gavaskar said on Star Sports Cricket Live.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won their 3rd Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on the bounce, beating last year's runners-up Gujarat Titans in a comprehensive manner. After Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis gave the team a 92-run stand for the first wicket, while chasing the target of 148 runs, RCB incurred a dramatic middle-order collapse to go from 92/0 to 117/6. It was Virat who kept the team in the fight while Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh gave the finishing touch. But, the chase might not have been possible had Virat not survived a run-out on the first ball of his innings.
