Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper, Virat Kohli had witnessed some forgettable outings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, but he managed to get his form back on Saturday against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 43 of the season at the Brabourne Stadium. Kohli had his first half-century of IPL 2022, but it was a hard-fought one, as it took him 45 balls to reach there.
RCB against opted to open with Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis in their last two matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. It did not work out again, this time against GT on Saturday, as the South African departed without troubling the scorers. But Kohli, who was having a lean patch ahead of the contest, held on and stabilized the innings alongside Rajat Patidar. Kohli was second fiddle to Patidar, who scored 46 runs in just 27 balls at the end of 13 overs.

However, Virat Kohli did not have a single half-century this season, and also departed without on golden duck twice in IPL 2022. He seemed to get his lofty form right, and hit six boundaries and a lone six till the 13th over to get the well-anticipated half-century. Though it took 45 balls to get there, it made the RCB fans happy to watch him scoring runs again. RCB, riding on their partnership, raced to 103/1 after 13 overs.
Here is the video of the knock from Virat Kohli:
