Greatness of Virat Kohli Has Been Reduced": Harbhajan Singhs Huge IPL 2024 Warning

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in this city continues to be a peak that the Royal Challengers Bangalore hitter has yet to reach for the relentless run machine that is Virat Kohli. Kohli has amassed 7263 runs from 237 matches, seven hundreds, and a strike average of 130, setting him apart from the other players in the IPL. However, at the Chepauk, where he averages just thirty and has a strike-rate of eleven1, that dominance wanes. In light of this, former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh stated that Kohli must put up a stronger effort when RCB takes on the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings in the opening IPL game of the season on March 22 at the Chepauk.In terms of his overall performance at that location, Virat's greatness has diminished. It's a challenging place to bat, particularly when you're the opening batsman up against a strange bounce similar to a tennis ball.The legendary Ravindra Jadeja bowls stump to stump for them (CSK). He's going to turn the oddball, then make it stay low. It's quite difficult," Harbhajan stated to Star Sports.

In fact, Harbhajan stated that Kohli will need to find a way to bat longer because the star batsman has been out of the game three times in his last five innings against CSK due to Power Plays.A match-winning performance is possible if he is truly ready to bat for roughly 20 overs, as two hundreds at the easily accessible Chinnaswamy do not always translate to the same at Chepauk "said the man.

Kohli has a mediocre record against the Super Kings and has yet to score an IPL century at Chepauk. In 30 games, the 35-year-old has amassed 985 runs against CSK, with a career-high of 90.The former CSK player Harbhajan stated that in order for RCB to have a genuine chance of winning the elusive IPL title, Kohli needed to get back to his 2016 form.

"It is crucial that he has a season similar to 2016 because the team will advance if Virat continues to score runs. I'm not sure if they'll end up winning the cup.
"But I think they have a lot of good batting because of the brilliant players they have on the team, including Virat, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and a few others like Patidar. and everybody hopes Virat can repeat his success from 2016," he continued.
