Royal Challengers Bengaluru are still alive in the Indian Premier League 2024. The Bengaluru-based franchise defeated Punjab Kings by 60 runs to register their fifth win in the 17th season. They have two more matches left and could reach 14 points. However, their playoff qualification will depend on the results of other teams.
Virat Kohli has been their star performer with 634 runs, including 1 hundred and five fifties. He struck 92 runs off 47 balls against the Sam Curran-led team. The veteran hit 7 fours and 6 sixes as RCB posted 241/7 in 20 overs.
Kohli, who has been lambasted for his batting approach in the ongoing edition, scored his runs at a strike rate of almost 196. Former India player Harbhajan Singh called him Mr Consistent affet his match-winning performance.
“Mr consistent @imVkohli well played champ 
@RCBTweets,” he wrote on X.
Virat will be Team India’s key player in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He is likely to bat at the number three spot, his preferred position in international cricket. The Men in Blue are looking to win their second T20 World Cup title.
