It’s been a while since Indian batting supremo Virat Kohli was seen in action after he pulled out of India’s recently concluded five-match home Test series against England that India won 4-1. Due to personal reasons, Virat Kohli had decided to not participate in the series and he recently welcomed a baby boy with wife Anushka Sharma. 

Nonetheless, Virat Kohli is set to make his comeback to action as he will be playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore at the IPL 2024. RCB are yet to win their maiden IPL title, having failed on every occasion previously. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif feels that Virat Kohli’s form will be significant for team’s success.

"Virat Kohli has been playing amazing cricket for the last 1-2 years; he has been in good form. I remember during the Asia Cup when he scored a century against Afghanistan; since then, he hasn't looked back. He has been in amazing form since then, and when a player like Virat Kohli is in form, he knows how to make runs in every match; he was also the player of the tournament during the World Cup. So I think he's going to continue this amazing form," Kaif told Star Sports.

Over the past few months, Kohli has been in terrific form, and his brilliant form will hold a lot of importance for RCB’s success. Apart from Kohli, RCB will take the field with explosive batters like Glenn Maxwell and newly added Cameron Green. 

"One special thing about Virat Kohli is that every time he comes back from a break, he plays really well. Most players want to be in touch and play regularly to get in form, but Virat Kohli every time when he comes back from the break, he comes across as a more dangerous batsman. Yes, there are Green and Maxwell in the team, but Virat Kohli's form will decide RCB's place in the playoffs. It's important that Virat Kohli is in form with Maxwell and Green for RCB to qualify for the playoffs," he added.
