Virat Kohli was at his best for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL 2024 match on Friday. Kohli continued his good show in the IPL 2024 and scored another half-century. As the wickets continued to fall at the other end, Kohli kept his cool to craft his innings with precision.
