IPL 2024, RCB vs KKR: Virat Kohli’s IPL stats against Kolkata Knight Riders

New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will square off with arch-rivals Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the tenth Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Amid the heated rivalry debate, star RCB batter Virat Kohli has nothing to bother about if one looks at his IPL stats against the Kolkata-based franchise. He boasts a formidable list of numbers that might see a change in the Friday clash.

The excitement level of the fans is at its peak as they are eager to watch the two sides take on each other, considering all the heated instances they have gone through in the IPL history. One of the instances was the iconic charge by Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir against each other back in 2013. The two players haven’t had a great relationship and will be crossing paths again on Friday with Gambhir as the KKR mentor this time.

Kohli’s overall IPL records are historical weighing in for his legendary status. In the two games played for RCB in the 2024 season, he got out early against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) but compensated his fans with a brilliant 77-run knock in the next game against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and grabbing the first win of the IPL 2024. The 35-year-old has enjoyed a formidable record against KKR over the years and is expected to make an impact for his side to better their head-to-head record.
