Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain and Indian skipper Virat Kohli has often been touted as the best batsman across the formats in the modern-day cricket, having established his authority in different countries and continents. While Virat Kohli is best known for his technique and phenomenal mental strength, he surprisingly has a superstition. Currently, he is leading the RCB in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in the UAE.

Despite struggling in the initial phases of the tournament, Virat Kohli has faired well in the last six games. The 31-year old looked out of sorts with the bat while also fluffing catches in the field. However, it did not take time for him to get his rhythm back, thundering back with two half-centuries. Currently, RCB has ten points and are placed third in the 2020 IPL points table.
