Virat will return to the field of play for the first time since January 2024, having played his last T20I match against Afghanistan. Now Kohli has joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) camp and will face MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the first match of the IPL 2024 season on March 22. The interesting thing is that Virat Kohli can make a special record on the very first ball of IPL 2024. However, to do so, RCB will have to bat first as their former captain is just one run away from completing 1000 runs against CSK in T20 cricket. So far he has scored 999 runs in 31 innings at an average and strike rate of 37. He has scored 9 half-centuries against CSK so far. Along with this, Virat has also hit 37 sixes along with 74 fours against the five-time champion. As far as IPL is concerned, Kohli needs 15 more runs to complete 1000 runs against CSK and he will be the second player to do so after Shikhar Dhawan. Dhawan has scored 1057 runs in 29 innings at an average and strike rate of 44.04. Rohit Sharma is at third place in this list with 791 runs in IPL history against MS Dhoni and his team in 33 innings.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian cricketers Mohammad Kaif and Irfan Pathan have shared their opinion for the opening matches of the IPL season and tournament to be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on March 22. Pathan also analyzed RCB’s fast bowling lineup, and stressed its importance on the batting-friendly Chinnaswamy pitch. Apart from this, Kaif spoke in detail about Virat Kohli’s form and RCB’s chances of reaching the playoffs. He stressed that despite the presence of other players like Green and Maxwell, Kohli’s consistency will be vital for the team’s success. Irfan Pathan and Mohammad Kaif gave a big statement about Virat Kohli On Star Sports show, Irfan Pathan said, “One thing I would like to say to the RCB fans is that people may say that the bowling line-up for the team is weak, at least it seems so, but the management of RCB has made a work done. He has included fast bowlers in his bowling line up. They have 3 fast bowlers who can bowl the ball at a speed of 140 km/h. So there is a possibility that on a pitch like Chinnaswamy, this pace could come in handy as his batting is really very strong. Mohammad Quaid talks about Virat Kohli’s return to form and how important it is for RCB to make the playoffs. He said, “Virat Kohli has been playing amazing cricket for the last 1-2 years, he is in good form. I remember during the Asia Cup when he scored a century against Afghanistan; Since then, he has not looked back. He has been in amazing form since then, and when a player like Virat Kohli is in form, he knows how to score runs in every match. He was also the best player of the tournament during the World Cup. So I think he will continue this amazing form.”

Talking about the reason behind this, it is being said that the wickets will be slow in West Indies and USA. His batting style on that pitch will not benefit India. However, Virat still has a chance, if he performs well in IPL 2024 then he can secure his place in the T20 World Cup.

The selectors are reluctant to pick Kohli for the T20 World Cup, as the management believes that the experienced player has failed to meet the needs of the team in the shortest format.

Agarkar had asked Kohli to change his approach to T20I cricket, which Kohli tried to implement in the series against Afghanistan, but was not successful. The team management also believes that Kohli will not like the slow wicket of West Indies, hence Ajit Agarkar will try to give a chance to the youth in place of this experienced player. BCCI feels that young players like Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dubey can be more successful in this format than Kohli.

Even if Virat performs well, there is no guarantee whether RCB will win the trophy or not – Harbhajan Singh
Virat Kohli has been playing for RCB for the last 16 years. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India bowling legend Harbhajan Singh believes that poor batting record at Chennai Super Kings’ home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, has diminished Virat Kohli’s “greatness” in the IPL on that ground. The former captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has played a total of 12 matches at the Chepauk ground, scoring 362 runs at an average of 30.17 and a strike rate of 111.38. This is his lowest average compared to any other Indian ground where he has played at least 10 IPL matches. The last time he scored a half-century here was in 2013. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s performance “Virat’s greatness has diminished in terms of his overall performance on that field,” Harbhajan said on Star Sports. It is a difficult ground to bat on. The bounce of the ball on that ground is quite uneven due to which it is a bit difficult to bat there. They have Jadeja, a brilliant bowler who bowls stump to stump. He will turn some balls and then leave some balls low. It is really difficult.” Bhajji further said, “If he is really ready to bat around 20 overs, he can put in a match-winning performance because it is easy to score two centuries at Chinnaswamy (RCB’s home ground) but it is not guaranteed at Chepauk. “ The former spinner said that it is not that if Virat performs well then RCB will win the title this season. But they would like Kohli to perform the way he did in IPL 2016. There he scored 973 runs at an average of 81.08 with a strike rate of 152.03. The former veteran spinner said that, Harbhajan said, “It is important for him to have a season like 2016, because if Virat scores runs then the team will progress. I don’t know whether they will win the cup or not.
WPL 2024: Because of Virat Kohli, Jemimah Rodrigues was able to play a stormy innings for DC against MI!
Jemimah Rodrigues played a brilliant inning of 69 runs in just 33 balls against MI. Jemimah Rodrigues and Virat Kohli. (Image Source: Instagram) Delhi Capitals (DC)’s young batting sensation Jemimah Rodrigues (Jemimah Rodrigues) Team India’s batting superstar Virat Kohli on his game after his memorable innings in the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2024 (WPL 2024)Virat Kohli) has given a big statement regarding its impact. Like many other Indian cricketers, she is a fan of Virat Kohli and follows him. Let us tell you, Jemimah Rodrigues displayed her extraordinary talent with the bat during Delhi Capitals (DC)’s 29-run win against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 12th game of WPL 2024 released on March 5. I have learned this thing from Virat Kohli: Jemimah Rodrigues He played a brilliant inning of 69 runs in just 33 balls with the help of eight fours and three sixes against Mumbai Indians (MI), and for this he was given the Player of the Match award. Rodrigues started slowly but soon picked up the pace and performed aggressively in the last five overs of his team’s innings. Rodrigues, a right-handed batsman, displayed her versatility by scoring runs around the field, and eluding the fielders while making smart shot selections. Jemimah Rodriguez said after the match: “You need all kinds of shots when you come to the WPL, and I can’t be limited to a few shots and say, ‘That’s the kind of player I am.’ For me I need to put in a little more effort than others to hit those sixes. But I have a lot of confidence in my timing and the swing of my bat. ‘He runs well between the wickets’ I think everything went right today, I don’t try to hit sixes, I just try to hit the ball in the gap. If the ball is hit very well, it goes for a six. This is something that I have learned from Virat Kohli; He is really an expert in this. I emulate him a lot because our batting positions are similar in the Indian team. The way Virat Kohli approaches his game, he runs well between the wickets, and has great intent while batting. Even if he hits a six, he hits it in the gap. So, if he hits it well, it’s either two runs, four or a six. This is what I try and implement in my game as well.”
