On Thursday, the leading run scorer from Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli stands at the top of orange caps table in the current Indian Premier League season. RCB’s skipper retained the orange Cap after scoring a magnificent innings 92 not out against defending champion Mumbai Indians and taking his tally to 201 runs in just four matches. RCB skipper Virat Kohli has moved up the charts in leaps and bounds to become one of the world’s leading batsmen after legendary Sachin Tendulkar. For Gary Kirsten, who was former India’s coach when Kohli started out with the national team, it was always a question of when and not if when it came to Kohli achieving great things.
“A lot of those conversations have in many ways given him some of the thinking around how he needs to build his game. That has been fun. To come back and start working with him again, to see how he is going, we are just kind of building that relationship again. I am really enjoying it,” said Kirsten. Since becoming the full-time India captain across formats, Kohli has stacked up remarkable numbers. Virat Kohli in the most recently performance, managed to scored 1464 ODI runs at unbelievable average of 76.84 and that’s not only in the limited-over format, Virat Kohli scores 1059 in Test runs at an average of 75.64.
