Virat Kohli is someone who likes to do well against every opponent. And his stats tell the same story, and he has been pretty successful while doing this. He has an incredible international career across formats, but even in the Indian Premier League, no one comes close to his achievements. He is the leading run-scorer in the IPL and has enjoyed playing against each other.
Even in the IPL 2024, he is currently at the top of the tree and has already smashed two half-centuries in three games. However, his team is in trouble, and he needs to step up in the next game on Tuesday. Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Lucknow Super Giants on April 2 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru and Virat Kohli will be very crucial for the team.

The 35-year-old superstar likes playing against LSG, and we all know what happened when these two met last time. Virat had some ugly exchanges with Naveen-ul-Haq, Amit Mishra, and Gautam Gambhir. Though everything is well, the former RCB captain will have a big role to play. Virat has played all four matches against Lucknow in the IPL.
He has scored 117 runs at an average of 29.25 and a strike rate of 118.18, with a best of 61. Though these stats look a bit below par as per his standard, he has a brilliant chance to improve them on Tuesday evening at home. He is the second-highest scorer against LSG on his team.
Virat Kohli vs LSG Knock
Virat has one half-century against LSG in the IPL in four innings. That came last season in Bengaluru. It was a high-scoring clash where more than 420 runs were scored. RCB batted first in that game and went on to score a big total of 212/2 in 20 overs. Virat played a good innings at the top and scored 61 off 44 balls, with four boundaries and four sixes. Faf du Plessis (79 off 46) and Glenn Maxwell (59 off 29) also batted well. However, LSG went on to chase the target and made 213/9, with Nicholas Pooran smashing 62 off just 19 balls.
Virat Kohli vs LSG: What to Expect?

With the form Virat is in, we can expect another big innings from him. He has scored 181 runs in three innings at an average of 90.50. However, the RCB’s situation is a bit tricky, and we might see Virat taking on more responsibility. He loves such kinds of challenges, and it is a great time for him to take his team to victory.
However, he will be up against Mohsin Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq, who will make an angle against him on the third or fourth stumps, which he needs to take care of. But not to forget, pace sensation Mayank Yadav, who bowled the fastest delivery of the IPL 2024, will also be breathing fire in Bengaluru. So it will be a good battle.
