Hospice It started raining during last night’s match of IPL 2024. The game stood still for a while. But when the game started again, the speed of Virat Kohli’s bat also increased. This veteran of Royal Challengers Bangalore had completed his fifty in 32 balls. He missed the century, but in the meantime he scored 42 runs in 15 balls. Virat crossed the six-run mark for the fourth time in his IPL career during his innings of 92 runs. Virat also holds the record of scoring the maximum 973 runs in a single season of IPL (in 2016).

What if you miss a century?
Thanks to this inning of Virat and his partnership for the third wicket (72 runs, 32 balls) with Rajat Patidar (55 runs, 23 balls, 3 fours, 6 sixes), Bengaluru scored 241 runs for seven wickets against Punjab Kings. This is the highest team total made in an IPL match in Dharamshala. Bengaluru also has the highest score against Punjab. For Bengaluru, Cameron Green also played a brilliant inning of 46 runs (5 fours, 1 six) in 27 balls. Punjab pacer Harshal Patel took three wickets in the match and won the Purple Cap again with a total of 20 wickets.
Don’t give chance to Virat
Vidvat Kavarappa, who won many matches for Karnataka with his bowling in the domestic circuit, made his debut for Punjab Kings. This young pacer got a chance for the first time after sitting on the bench for two years. He also got the opportunity to start bowling with the new ball and the veteran Virat Kohli was in front. Kavrappa had trapped Virat on his third ball itself. However, Ashutosh Sharma could not catch the ball which had taken flight in the sky. In his second over, Kawarappa took the first wicket of his IPL career by dismissing Faf Duplessis (9 runs). Virat once again got saved on the last ball of the same over when his catch was dropped by the fielder again. Virat got life on the score of 0 and 10 runs.
