An opening game of an IPL season. A loud M Chinnaswamy Stadium and a tricky chase ahead of him. And guess what Virat Kohli does? He did what he does more often than not. Dominate. The IPL veteran who now plays just one international format came and once again conquered to thrill the RCB fans, now as defending champions.
What a sight it was for Bengaluru, which has seen this script play time and time again. But every time, it feels surreal. Every time Virat Kohli punches a pacer down the ground, you drop your jaw in imagination. Every time he flicks one for a six, you stand up and applaud. Despite not being a natural six-hitter, Kohli bosses the T20 format. That’s what he did in the opening game between RCB and SRH, taking his team to the fastest 200+ chase in IPL history.
