Virat Kohli on the Verge of Record Against KKR in IPL 2024
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2024, with all eyes on Virat Kohli as he inches closer to a massive record against KKR. Despite RCB’s struggles this season, Kohli has been in scintillating form, leading the charge with 361 runs and claiming the Orange Cap.
As RCB desperately seeks a turnaround in their fortunes, Kohli’s performance will be crucial in their quest for a playoff spot. With just one win in seven matches, Faf du Plessis’ side needs a victory against KKR to stay in contention.
On the other hand, KKR, led by Shreyas Iyer, has been impressive this season, thanks in part to the strategic move of promoting Sunil Narine to the opening position. The West Indian all-rounder has provided solid starts for KKR, who currently sit third on the points table with 8 points.
However, all eyes will be on Kohli as he looks to make history against KKR. With just 56 runs away from completing 1,000 runs against the Kolkata-based franchise, Kohli has a chance to join the elite club of batters who have achieved this feat, including Rohit Sharma.
KKR’s bowling unit will be wary of Kohli’s threat and will look to dismiss him early in the game. The clash between KKR and RCB promises to be a thrilling encounter, with Kohli’s pursuit of a record adding an extra layer of excitement to the match. Stay tuned for what promises to be a blockbuster showdown at Eden Gardens Stadium, Kolkata.
