Since 2024, Virat Kohli has 11 50+ scores while chasing. All 11 50+ scores have ended in winning cause for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. 100 percent win rate in such cases.
Virat Kohli in the last 6 T20 finals he has played:
52* vs GT, 2026
43 vs PBKS, 2025
76 vs SA,2024
54 vs SRH,2016
41* vs BAN,2016
77 vs SL, 2014
This is also Virat Kohli's fastest IPL 50.
One can be the biggest fan and still question their hero.
It would be untrue if I said Kohli is better than ABD in IPL coz he is not.
I won’t call Dravid the greatest due to his subpar record in SA and Aus.
I love them despite the flaws. Fanatics need to understand this.
Damn! That bit about Pollard from Krunal with his voice cracking and Ian Bishop straightaway apologising after the interview to broach the topic. This match keeps on giving.

South Africa 2014 - Virat Kohli ( 72*)
Australia 2016 - Virat Kohli ( 82*)
Pakistan 2022 - Virat Kohli ( 82* )
POTM in all matches: Virat Kohli
He has always been the point of difference
India have successfully chased 4/4 times against Pakistan in men's T20 World Cup
When the winning run was hit - Yuvraj (2012), Raina (2014), Dhoni (2016) & Ashwin (2022) -
VIRAT KOHLI WAS AT THE NON-STRIKER'S END ON ALL 4 OCCASIONS
Agree to all the aspects of this thread; but will add on that Ajit Pawar payed a huge price of being the nephew of Sharad Pawar.
Initially it might have helped him to enter & establish himself but later it became a burden. Sr Pawar corrupt; Castist & Communal politics overshadowed Ajit's administrative governance.
If you read only 6 books of Harry Potter, you would call Snape a coward.
If you read all 7 books, you will know he was the bravest man in the series.
This is the difference between how others look at Dada vs how Maharashtra sees him.
If there was one person I trusted to get xyz work done in Pune it would be him and he would be accessible to anyone.
Even before the city woke up one could see him on Omkareshwar bridge, Hinjewadi or in any part of Pune and PCMC addressing people's issues.
People in Maharashtra said, some people are addicted to drinking, some are addicted to smoking. Ajit Dada is addicted to working. Everyone has flaws, he too had, maybe many more but none more committed than him.
Colossal loss
