Kohli’s ability to anchor the innings while also tonking boundaries at will is what makes him a nightmare for bowlers. He’s not just playing; he’s showcasing why he’s one of the best in the business.
With this explosive start, RCB fans are buzzing with excitement. Can Kohli keep this momentum going throughout the tournament? Only time will tell, but if this opener is anything to go by, we’re in for a thrilling season!
