Virat Kohli's numbers against CSK in IPL
Virat Kohli is playing his last IPL as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain. In the first match after the IPL restart, his team was thrashed by Kolkata Knight Riders. Kohli was sent back to the pavilion after scoring just 5 runs.
Kohli is aiming to take his team to their first title in his last outing as captain.
RCB is set to play Chennai Super Kings on Friday. The match will take place in Sharjah. Sharjah is known for high-scoring matches. Last season Kohli played some good knocks in Sharjah. CSK is on a roll this season as they have managed to win six out of their eight games so far.
If RCB wants to win their game against men in yellow, then they need some fireworks from their captain. There is no doubt that it will not be easy to stop RCB if Kohli gets going. So far Kohli has managed 203 runs in eight matches this season.
On that note, let's take a look at how Kohli has performed overall against CSK in the IPL.
