The star Indian batter Virat Kohli is undoubtedly the best batter in the history of the Indian Premier League. Not only this, but he is also the leading run-scorer in the history of the tournament.
In an interview with Star Sports, Virat revealed his favorite rival team in the IPL. The batter said his favorite team to play against is the Kolkata Knight Riders. Virat played in the first IPL match between RCB and KKR on April 18, 2008. In that game, the Knight Riders scored 222 runs and bowled out RCB for 82. Virat only scored one run from 5 balls.
Kohli has played 34 matches against KKR, scoring 962 runs. He has hit one century and six fifties against the Kolkata team. The right-handed batter has scored 8,004 runs in 252 IPL matches, with eight centuries and 55 half-centuries. Despite reaching three finals, RCB has never won an IPL title. Virat is expected to stay with RCB in IPL 2025.
Virat will next play against Bangladesh in a two-match Test series in India. He recently played a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, his performance in that series was below average and he struggled to score runs. He retired from T20Is after the ICC World Cup in the USA and the West Indies.
