We have to salute his courage, which gave him the courage to take the field despite being unwell. Ever wondered why Virat Kohli had to do something in the match against LSG which he never did in IPL? Why did he have to enter the IPL pitch for the first time as an impact player? Why did Virat Kohli have to come to bat even after not being 100 percent fit? The answers to all these questions are related to that one record, which needed to be broken. Virat Kohli played an important role in breaking it against LSG.

Kohli told the truth about his health after the match

Now you might be wondering what is that record? So tell us about that, before that, know what Virat Kohli told about his ill health after the match. RCB's star batsman told that he is not 100 percent fit yet. His health has been unwell for the last 4-5 days. He also had pain in his knee in the last match. But, he is happy because due to his enthusiasm the team was successful in winning.

Even in bad health, Kohli came out with a precise game plan.

Regarding the game plan, Virat Kohli said that the idea was absolutely clear. To win the match from the opposing team in the power play itself and he is happy that he was successful in doing so. Virat Kohli had played as an impact player against LSG due to not being 100 percent fit and being ill. But, he did not let his deteriorating health affect his game. He batted brilliantly and scored 35 runs in the first 15 balls of his innings. This was the first time in IPL that Virat had scored runs so fast in the first 15 balls. Virat Kohli's total innings was of 36 balls, in which he scored 49 runs.

Which record was broken by the passion shown by Virat Kohli?

Now the question is why did Virat Kohli do this? The answer to this question is related to the statistics of the match played by Chinnaswamy against Lucknow Super Giants. In fact, never before had Royal Challengers Bangalore won any match against Lucknow Super Giants at Chinnaswamy Stadium. This was the third match that took place between RCB and LSG at Chinnaswamy and for the first time in 3 matches, the Bengaluru team managed to win. Meaning, LSG's record of never losing against RCB against Chinnaswamy was broken due to the spirit shown by Virat Kohli.
