Kohli-the lone warrior in his team RCB
Virat Kohli’s performance and emotional reaction after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) were eliminated from IPL 2024 is reminiscent of his distress after losing the ODI World Cup final to Australia. Despite RCB’s impressive six-game winning streak, they were defeated by the Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator match in Ahmedabad, halting their title aspirations. Kohli, who had an outstanding season with 741 runs in 15 matches, is likely to win the Orange Cap but still seeks an elusive IPL trophy.
During the match, Kohli became the first player to surpass 8000 runs in IPL history, achieving the milestone with 33 runs off 24 balls before being dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal. Despite his stellar batting performance, including one century and five half-centuries, Kohli’s efforts were not enough to secure RCB’s victory. The Rajasthan Royals, overcoming a four-match winless streak, advanced to Qualifier 2. Following this, Kohli is set to travel to New York to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
