Virat Kohli soch ko mei badal dete hain haqeeqat.

Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif believes that Virat Kohli could make all the difference in the virtual knockout match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). This match will determine which team advances to the IPL 2024 playoffs, joining Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.With 661 runs in 13 innings, Kohli now owns the Orange Cap. In 16 seasons at RCB since the league's founding in 2008, he has never been a member of an IPL-winning squad. But given his current form, it won't come as a shock if he leads RCB over CSK, the five-time champions, on May 18 to secure the final slot in the top four."Kohli's attitude when he opens and faces the first ball is very clear: 'I want to play more balls, play my shots, attack the bowlers; and by the 7th or 8th over, when the spinners come on to bowl, I am batting on 30-40.'" And he has accomplished it," Kaif stated in a Star Sports interview."Ek hoti hai soch, par usko haqeeqat mei badalna, woh Virat Kohli ballebaz hai (it's one thing to have a thought process and another to make it happen, that's Virat Kohli the batsman)," Kaif continued."I've done this much, I can handle it," is a common belief. not Virat Kohli, though. Kaif emphasized that Kohli has successfully addressed the aspect of his game that was being questioned.

"He proved that he can hit the spinners as well...has brought out the slog sweep," Kaif added.The Lucknow Super Giants' and Delhi Capitals' chances of making the playoffs are only theoretically alive ahead of their final game against the Mumbai Indians, while RCB and CSK will compete in a virtual shootout for a spot in the tournament.Seventh position Lucknow has the same number of points (12) as RCB, but their negative net run-rate (NRR) of -0.787 gives them little hope. Delhi has 14 points, but they are also wishing against hope because they concluded their league games with a negative NRR of -0.377.With a positive NRR of +0.387, the Bengaluru team is in a better position. Nevertheless, at 14 points, CSK has the highest NRR (+0.528) of the three. As a result, RCB will be consulting their calculators to determine the winning margins necessary to overtake CSK. Should the match end in a washout, CSK advances to the next round of the playoffs. "I believe the kind of form he (Kohli) is in, it won't be wrong to call this match as Virat Kohli vs CSK," Kaif said.
