Virat Kohli has been nothing short of spectacular in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024), silencing any doubts about his form and inclusion in the India squad for the T20 World Cup. Despite earlier uncertainties, the former India captain has hit the ground running for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2024, securing his spot in the national squad. Kohli’s exceptional performance has seen him achieve several milestones, being the first player this season to surpass the 300, 400, and 500-run marks.

With his eye on yet another record, he is poised to become the first player to reach the 600-run milestone this season. Currently leading the run-scoring charts in IPL 2024, Virat Kohli continues to dominate in the ongoing match against Punjab Kings at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium in Dharamsala.

Despite a shaky start for RCB, losing the wickets of captain Faf du Plessis and Will Jacks within the powerplay, Kohli has anchored the innings, forging a crucial 76-run partnership with Rajat Patidar to stabilize the team’s position.

  

Virat Kohli’s unbeaten knock of 42 runs showcases his class, highlighted by four boundaries and two towering sixes. Notably, one of these sixes was a remarkable one-handed shot, demonstrating Kohli’s exceptional skill and timing. In the seventh over, facing Vidwath Kaverappa, Kohli lofted the ball over mid-off for a maximum, despite losing grip on one hand during the shot, yet still managing to clear the boundary rope.
