[Watch] Virat Kohli hits delightful one-handed six against Vidwath Kaverappa in PBKS vs RCB match of IPL 2024

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opener Virat Kohli continued his stellar form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season. The ace batter wowed fans by playing a stunning 92-run knock against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Dharamsala on Thursday, May 9.

While Kohli hit some impressive strokes during his stay at the crease, his one-handed six off Vidwath Kaverappa's bowling caught the attention of many. On the first ball of the seventh over, the PBKS pacer dished out a full-length delivery.

The RCB batter countered it by stepping down the track and hitting over the long-off fence. Despite Kohli's bottom hand coming off the bat handle, the ball still sailed over the boundary for a maximum.

It is worth mentioning that Virat Kohli was dropped twice off Vidwath Kaverappa's bowling in the powerplay. Ashutosh Sharma put down a tough chance in the first over of the match, while Rilee Rossouw failed to complete a difficult catch in the third over.
