Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has reckoned that Virat Kohli’s form will play a crucial role for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The former off-spinner feels that RCB move ahead in the league only if Kohli score runs.

Harbhajan and former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden believe that Kohli’s form will be pivotal for the RCB, particularly in their campaign opener against the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 22 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

In exclusive interviews with Star Sports’ show “Game Plan,” the two former cricketers discussed their insights on the upcoming season of the cash-rich league, focusing on the highly anticipated clash between Indian stalwarts MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli as they prepare to face each other in the tournament opener.

Hayden commented on Kohli playing at the Chepauk Stadium against the hosts CSK. “Virat enjoys a great record against the CSK but since 2021 in the power-play, Dhoni has done something different. In three out of the five innings, he’s gotten out within the power plays,” Hayden said.

“Well one thing is for certain, it is a blockbuster showdown, Virat Kohli pretty much this year is going to be celebrated across all the games. His average is 30 at Chepauk Stadium with a strike rate of 111. So straight away that shows the greatness of Virat has been reduced in terms of his overall performance at that venue,” he added.
Harbhajan spoke on Virat Kohli repeating his 2016 IPL form again in 2024 and said: “Well, it’s important for him to have a season like 2016 because if Virat Kohli goes on to score runs for them, it means the team will go forward.”
“I don’t know if they go on to win the cup or not, but with the brilliant individuals they have in their team—Virat Kohli, Maxwell, Green, and a few more like Patidar—so I believe they have a lot of good batting, and everyone wants Virat Kohli to make that comeback from 2016 and score heavily at the top. If that happens, they will have a great chance to go forward,” he added.
