Virat Kohli has been in a good form and is set to open the innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore this year. In 2016, as opener of RCB Kohli was in destructive form. Rohit Sharma and co have to strategize to stop Kohli before the RCB settles down.

Opening Encounter of IPL

The opening encounter of IPL 2020 will see Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore taking on Mumbai Indians, the defending champions. Kohli will be opening the innings for IPL as already announced.

Kohli’s record as an opener will be the boast for Royal Challengers Bangalore. As an opener Kohli has been much better as compared to his record while batting in other positions in IPL. Virat Kohli averages 47.96 as an opener in the IPL whereas his average is 34.0 in other batting positions. His average of 47.96 as an opener is also one of the best and most consistent. Kohli has a strike-rate of over 200 in the death overs which means oppositions cannot let him stay for that long on the crease.
