Renowned for his prowess on the cricket field, Virat Kohli continues to etch his name in the record books, showcasing his exceptional fielding skills alongside his batting brilliance.
During an IPL 2024 clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings, Kohli secured his position as the Indian fielder with the highest number of catches in T20 cricket. With a stunning catch at covers to dismiss Jonny Bairstow, Kohli surpassed Suresh Raina’s record of 172 catches, reaching a tally of 173 catches.
This milestone adds another feather to Kohli’s cap, further solidifying his status as one of the finest cricketers India has produced. The significance of this achievement was highlighted in RCB’s pursuit of victory, led by captain Faf du Plessis, in their IPL campaign opener at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In addition to his fielding prowess, Kohli’s batting prowess is unmatched, as evidenced by his recent milestone of becoming the first Indian batsman to amass 12,000 runs in T20 cricket. This remarkable feat was achieved during RCB’s opening match against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2024 season.
