Virat Kohli has struggled against RR, noted Aakash Chopra. Especially at RR’s home ground, his record is subpar. However, as Kohli is in top form, Chopra expects him to excel when RCB clashes with RR in Jaipur on April 6th for IPL 2024.
In the ongoing season, Virat Kohli has scored 203 runs at an impressive strike rate of 140.97 across 4 innings. Last year against RR, his two innings yielded a mere 18 runs, including a golden duck at home. Kohli will aim to improve his showing against RR this time around.
In a YouTube video, Chopra named Kohli as the first RCB player to focus on in Saturday’s encounter.
Chopra observed that Kohli does not crumble but thrives under strain. While remarking that the current batting great will face Trent Boult and Nandre Burger, he expects him to score runs.
