Family First Kohli Celebrates Match-Winning Knock with Heartfelt Call Home

However, the first game belonged to another opening batsman for Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings, Virat Kohli demonstrated the comeback of his cricket career with a brilliant 77-run innings on Monday.

The throwback was vintage Kohli from the Indian bedrock, who showcased sublime timing on those perfect cover drives and immaculately timed lofted shots. When the Indian skipper blitzed the Australians for a match-winning performance to silence those calling for his head as he struggled to prove his place for the World Cup, he showed his commitment by calling his family and sharing the success story with them.

Kohli had his son Akaay blessed two months ago while his wife Anushka gave birth to their second child, putting him in a good head space, which is how he is.

Kohli has the Orange Cap but he would say the era when such things are important to him is gone now. I try to set the team off with a blazing start but if wickets fall I have to keep on assessing. Of course, it wasn't a flat surface. Being unable to complete the game I felt disappointed. "The ball was at the slot on which he executed a deep cut and it was his determined effort to always try to improve as a batsman.
