Virat Kohli Hopes To Continue T20 Form For RCB
“Extremely honoured to receive the orange cap for this season. It was a roller-coaster of a ride, I was really pleased with the way I performed for my team throughout the season but more importantly in the latter half where we needed to win every game to qualify,” Kohli said in a recorded message after the final.
“Something that I hope to replicate in the 2025 season of the IPL as well. Thank you everyone for your support,” he said.
Kolkata Knight Riders clinched their third IPL title by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The 35-year-old Kohli became the first Indian to win the Orange Cap twice in IPL history. He will now be seen in the upcoming T20 World Cup for India in the USA and the West Indies. India will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
