Kohli is currently a part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the ongoing Indian Premier League. He has been a crucial figure in the franchise’s hunt for a spot in the playoffs.

In the ongoing IPL season, Kohli currently leads the race for the orange cap with 661 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of 155.16 and a whopping average of 66.10. His impressive tally is fueled by five fifties and a sole century.

RCB are currently sixth in the IPL table with 12 points from 13 matches. They will play a crucial match against fourth-ranked Chennai Super Kings, who have accumulated 14 points from 13 matches on Saturday.

To stay in contention for the playoffs, RCB with a net run rate of 0.387 must secure a victory that will help them surpass CSK’s NRR of 0.528.

RCB will back themselves to walk out victorious at their home stadium on Saturday night. After enduring a nightmare month of April, they are on an unbeaten streak after winning five games on the trot.

After the conclusion of the cash-rich league, Kohli will feature for India in the T20 World Cup. The marquee event will kick off in June in the USA and the West Indies.

India are placed in Group A of the ICC tournament alongside arch-rivals Pakistan, Ireland, Canada and co-hosts USA.
