Virat Kohli is on fire this season, and his latest innings against Chennai Super Kings is a testament to his dominance. The RCB star smashed a half-century off just 33 balls, scoring 62 runs with 5 fours and 5 sixes. This performance not only showcased his skill but also sealed his claim to the Orange Cap.
Kohli now tops the Orange Cap contenders with 505 runs in 11 matches at an average of 63.12. He’s just one run ahead of Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudarshan, who has 504 runs in 10 matches. Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav is third on the list with 475 runs, boasting an impressive average of 67.86. Indian young gun and Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill is fifth, with 465 runs at an average of 51.67.
A Record-Breaking Knock
Kohli’s knock against CSK was more than just a half-century; it was a record-breaker. He hit five sixes, propelling him to the top of the list for most sixes hit at a single venue in T20 cricket. Kohli now has 154 sixes at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, surpassing Chris Gayle’s record of 151 sixes at the same ground.
With this achievement, Kohli cements his status as one of the greatest T20 batsmen. His form this season has been nothing short of spectacular, and he looks set to continue his dominance in the remaining matches. As the Orange Cap holder, Kohli is under pressure to maintain his lead, but given his current form, he’s the favorite to keep it.
Kohli’s performance is a significant boost for RCB, and fans are eagerly watching to see how he’ll perform in the upcoming matches. With his bat on fire, Kohli is a force to be reckoned with, and his records are likely to be broken only by himself.
