Virat Kohli, the stalwart batter of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, expressed his gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support throughout the IPL 2024 campaign after the team's heartbreaking exit following a loss to Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator on Wednesday.
RCB endured seven losses in their first eight matches but mounted an incredible comeback to register wins in all of their remaining league games to clinch a spot in the Playoffs. Their qualification to the knockout stage was marked by a crucial clash against defending champions Chennai Super Kings, where RCB showcased their fighting spirit, restricting CSK to 191/7 in the 220-run chase.
However, their Eliminator match with Rajasthan Royals proved to be a formidable challenge, resulting in a four-wicket defeat in Ahmedabad.
Kohli was the most consistent performer for RCB throughout the season; he holds a considerable lead at the top of the list among the leading run-getters this year, with 741 runs to his name in 15 matches. The next best among teams currently still in the competition is Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag, who has 567 runs in 15 games.
