The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might be going through a rough patch in IPL 2024, but their batting superstar Virat Kohli's roar continues which has also earned him the coveted Orange Cap. After missing the Test series against England for personal reasons, Kohli returned to cricket with a bang in the IPL 2024. His first match back saw him score a decent 21 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). This was followed by a hot streak of two consecutive half-centuries. He first played a match-winning knock of 77 runs against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and then followed it up with an unbeaten 83 against Kolkata Knight Riders. Lucknow Super Giants did manage to break his streak by dismissing him for just 22 runs, but Kohli roared back in the next match, smashing an unbeaten century (113 runs) against Rajasthan Royals. This dominant performance has placed him at the top of the IPL 2024 run-scorer list with a total of 316 runs from just five games.
Virat Kohli's bat is on fire! Despite his team's struggles, he's been in a fantastic mood. He hasn't been afraid to show his fun and energetic personality on the field, and a recent viral video perfectly captures this. The clip shows Kohli dancing in a hilarious way during a net session, further highlighting his positive spirit.

Virat Kohli's strong batting performance has sparked positive news for Indian cricket fans. A recent media report suggests his inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad this year seems certain. Earlier, before the IPL began, there were doubts about his selection due to concerns over his strike rate. However, his current form appears to have silenced those doubts. On the other hand, RCB are facing a different story. Currently placed ninth in the points table, they've only managed one win in five games. Their season started with a loss to Chennai Super Kings, followed by a solitary victory against Punjab Kings. Unfortunately, they then faced defeats against Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and Rajasthan Royals. RCB will be up against Mumbai Indians (MI) in their next IPL 2024 encounter.
