Virat Kohli is a fierce competitor and this is known to all. On the field, few can top the intensity of the Indian cricket team’s stars. Be it his national team or his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kohli has always been by his side. Kohli is one of the top run-scorers in IPL 2024, scoring 316 runs in five games at an average of 105.33. His strike rate is 146.30. However, his team lost four of five games. RCB will take on Mumbai Indians on Thursday.

In RCB’s last match against Rajasthan Royals, Kohli scored 113* – his joint-highest score in the IPL. During the match, Kohli made a move that went viral. After hitting RR’s Avesh Khan for four, Kohli made a gesture that looked like he was pretending to put his hands in the air.

Aveash Khan and RCB have a long history. The player reacted aggressively during the IPL 2023 match between RCB and Avesh’s former team Lucknow Super Giants. Avish, who was on the pitch when his team successfully completed their chase against RCB, threw his helmet on the ground in celebration. The move earned Avish a belated and hefty fine.

Kohli looked like he was laughing at the action.

Meanwhile, India men’s team chief selector Ajit Agarkar praised Virat Kohli for “setting a benchmark” in terms of fitness, saying the star batsman’s fitness routine, which includes strict diet and fitness The system has developed towards the younger generation of players.

Virat is currently playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). The T20 World Cup starts on June 1 and this match is his chance to prove his slightly conservative approach to T20 cricket, which combines aggressive batting with anchoring skills, in a world where batsmen are becoming increasingly powerful case, it’s still an excellent model to emulate starting with the first ball.

“You look at a guy like Virat (Kohli), he’s one of those guys who sets the benchmark,” Agarkar said on the SportifywithPRG podcast.

“He’s only going to get fitter 10-15 years into his career and you can see the results. If someone like him sets the example and comes up with certain things you need or certain fitness levels you need , it will gradually make progress throughout the ecosystem.”

“It has gradually progressed (to the younger generation). One of the differences you have seen over the last 15-20 years or so is the fitness level of the players,” Agarkar concluded.
