Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli is yet to fire in Indian Premier League 2020 as he has scored 3, 1 and 14 in the three matches so far. However, the 31-year-old will aim to make a solid comeback as he has a chance to make history when his side take on Rajasthan Royals in the Match No. 15 of IPL 2020 on Saturday.
Kohli needs to add 82 runs to his tally to become the first Indian in the world to aggregate 9000 runs in T20 cricket.
Overall, he would become the seventh batsman to achieve this milestone.
