Virat Kohli is proving once again that he’s a top player in the IPL this season. At 36 years old, he is leading the hunt for the Orange Cap with 505 runs in just 11 matches! On Saturday, he showed his talent with an incredible inning, scoring 62 runs off only 33 balls against Chennai Super Kings, with a fantastic strike rate of 187.88. He hit 5 sixes and 5 fours, making it tough for the CSK bowlers.

In this match, Kohli teamed up with Jacob Bethel, and together they scored 97 runs in just 9.5 overs at the start. Former Indian player Aakash Chopra praised Kohli’s performance, saying that at this point in his career, he’s not trying to compete against anyone but is focused on getting better himself.

Chopra stated, “You have to keep appreciating him because he performs well year after year. At this stage, he’s just trying to improve and add more skills to his game.” With his 62 runs against CSK, Kohli has also set a record for the most runs scored against a single team in the IPL—1,146 runs!

Kohli knows that to stay motivated, he needs to play better each day. “It’s about enjoying the game—hitting the ball well and dominating the bowlers,” he said. This season, Kohli has played brilliantly, scoring five half-centuries. His team, RCB, is currently at the top of the points table with 16 points.

Chopra added that Kohli’s main goal right now is to help his team win each match. “He plays for the team’s success. His measure of happiness is being at his best and helping his team succeed,” he concluded.
