Virat Kohli Needs 81 Runs Against SRH to Break Sanju Samson’s Elite IPL Record

In the upcoming IPL 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), cricket superstar Virat Kohli has an opportunity to set a new record. Kohli plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and in this match, he needs just 81 runs to surpass Sanju Samson’s record for the most runs scored against SRH in the IPL. Currently, Samson holds the record with 791 runs from 21 matches, while Kohli has scored 711 runs in 22 matches.

Kohli, who is the all-time leading run scorer in IPL history, is expected to play a crucial role in the match. His performance will be key, especially as the match against SRH is critical for RCB’s chances to make it to the playoffs. If RCB wins all six of their remaining matches, they could potentially reach 14 points, enough to secure a place in the playoffs. However, a loss against SRH could severely impact their chances of progressing.

The game will take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, and SRH holds the record for the highest score in IPL history. In their last match against RCB on April 15, SRH set a new record by scoring 287 runs in 20 overs. It’s a formidable record, and it shows how challenging the upcoming match could be for RCB.

The stakes are high for both teams, with Kohli aiming to break the record and RCB needing a win to stay in the playoff race. This match is shaping up to be an intense and exciting contest, with Kohli’s potential record-breaking performance adding an extra layer of interest.
