Royals Opponents Virat Kohli, the star batsman and former captain of Bangalore, has earned the Orange Cap in IPL 2024 season after going 67 runs without losing against the Kolkata Knight Riders. At M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, on March 29, Kohli smashed his 52nd half-century in 36 deliveries. Against KKR, he scored an undefeated 83 runs at a strike rate of 140.67. He hit four huge sixes and four boundaries.
That put him ahead of Heinrich Klaasen, the hard-hitting Hyderabadi wicketkeeper, in terms of runs scored in the 2024 Indian Premier League. Kohli won the Orange Cap in 2016, and this season he plans to try to repeat that performance. One of the other records that Kohli broke tonight was surpassing the illustrious AB de Villiers to become Bengaluru’s all-time leading scorer of sixes (239). He even became the batter with the most sixes hit in IPL tournament history when he hit his 240th six for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL, surpassing Chris Gayle.
