Lucknow: Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli is in great form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. He has scored the most runs so far this season and has retained his hold on the Orange Cap. However, Kohli could not do anything special in his last match and was out after scoring 3 runs in 9 balls. The match between RCB and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is to be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday. In this match, Kohli can perform a great feat and can join the special list of veteran batsman Rohit Sharma.

Actually, the 35-year-old has hit 246 sixes in the IPL so far and if he hits 4 sixes against Hyderabad, he will complete 250 sixes in the history of this tournament. If the right-handed batsman achieves this feat, he will join Rohit's exclusive club. If Virat hits 4 sixes, he will become the second Indian batsman after Rohit to do so in IPL. Before him, Rohit is the only player who has achieved this feat.
