How has Virat Kohli performed in IPL eliminators as RCB take on Rajasthan Royals in a knockout? – India TV

India TV News  

Royal Challengers Bengaluru reached the playoffs after a couple of years after what has been a turnaround for the ages. Six wins in a row, possibly every other result going their way, RCB needed a lot of things to go in their favour than earlier anticipated when they were 1/8 after playing eight games. RCB will be playing the eliminator first, against the Rajasthan Royals, who on the contrary just can't seem to win of late having been winless since the start of the month. RCB will need their star players to put their hand up when it matters the most like Mitchell Starc and skipper Shreyas Iyer did for the Kolkata Knight Riders. In four eliminators so far, Kohli has returned, 12 vs RR in 2015, 6 vs SRH in 2020, 36 vs KKR in 2021 and 25 in 2022 against the Lucknow Super Giants.
