In the upcoming IPL 2024 showdown between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Rajasthan spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has set his sights on dismantling the formidable Virat Kohli early in the match.
Chahal believes that a swift dismissal of Kohli could heap pressure on the RCB batting lineup, which has been struggling to find its rhythm in the tournament so far.
Expressing his admiration for Kohli’s batting prowess, Chahal labeled him as the “greatest batter of all time” during a pre-match press conference. With RR aiming for their fourth consecutive victory in the tournament, Chahal emphasized the importance of neutralizing Kohli’s impact on the game.
As RR prepares to host RCB in their third home game of the season at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 6, Chahal highlighted the significance of early breakthroughs to maintain their winning streak.
The Rajasthan team has showcased impressive performances with both bat and ball, with players like Trent Boult, Nandre Burger, and Riyan Parag shining brightly.
Acknowledging the widespread support for iconic players like Kohli and MS Dhoni even in away games, Chahal emphasized that such admiration is earned through years of exemplary service to the sport.
Despite the challenges posed by a strong RCB lineup, Chahal remains confident in RR’s ability to emerge victorious and ascend to the top of the IPL 2024 points table.
