The cricket icon Virat Kohli thrilled fans with a skillful flick shot against Mitchell Starc’s delivery. This occurred during their IPL 2024 match featuring RCB versus KKR. It took place on Friday (29th March) at Bengaluru’s iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The amazing shot occurred in the third over of the RCB innings. Starc produced a full-length ball, off-cutter on leg stump, which Virat Kohli flicked to perfection and dispatched over the deep square leg with a snap of his wrists. The ball sailed into the bleachers, surprising Starc.

Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in the competition after KKR bought him at INR 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. The left-arm bowler returned wicketless and surrendered 53 runs in the Knight Riders’ inaugural game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Kohli, on the other hand, scored 77 runs off 49 balls, including two sixes and 11 boundaries, to lead RCB to a four-wicket victory against Punjab Kings, their first of the IPL season. Previously, the right-handed hitter struck 21 (20) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in his return to professional cricket after missing the five-match home Test series against England.
