As the excitement of IPL 2024 continues to build, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) star opener, Virat Kohli, is leaving no stone unturned in his preparations for the upcoming showdown against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Kohli was recently spotted honing his skills during a practice session, fine-tuning his shots in anticipation of the crucial fixture against SRH. With the match set to take place at RCB’s home ground, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the pressure is on for Kohli and his team to deliver a standout performance.
Currently, RCB finds themselves at the bottom of the IPL 2024 table with just one win from six matches. In contrast, SRH holds the fifth spot with three wins and two losses, making this clash a must-win situation for both teams.
The RCB franchise shared a glimpse of Kohli’s dedication on their official Instagram handle, posting a video of the seasoned player in action. The caption, “Pretty simple ‘Gonna Fly Now’ from Rocky,” reflects Kohli’s focused mindset as he gears up for the challenge ahead.
Kohli’s stellar form in the 17th edition of the IPL has been evident, with the seasoned batsman already notching up a century and amassing an impressive total of 319 runs in just six matches, boasting an average of 79.75.
