"King Of All Seasons": Twitter Bows Down As Virat Kohli Roars Back To Form vs Gujarat Titans

Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli was at his best against Gujarat Titans and he showed why he is a big game player. In the most crucial game of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season for RCB, Kohli played a knock of 73 runs to help RCB chase down 169 with eight wickets in hand and eight balls to spare. Kohli's knock was studded with eight fours and two sixes and he batted with a strike rate of 135.19.
