NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli, the former Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper, delivered a masterclass in the 2024 Indian Premier League season, securing the Orange Cap and silencing critics just before the T20 World Cup. Despite facing criticism for his strike rate, Kohli emerged as the top run-scorer in the tournament, leading RCB to the playoffs.
Kohli's performances were a timely reminder of his T20 prowess. He scored 741 runs in 15 innings, averaging 61.75 with a strike rate of 154.69, including one century and five fifties. This remarkable season marked the second time Kohli has claimed the Orange Cap, the first being in 2016 when he set a record with 973 runs.
