It will be interesting to see Virat Kohli’s performance this season. Last year, questions were raised about his T20 form just before the T20 World Cup, but he gave a befitting reply to all critics by scoring 700+ runs. His strike rate was also excellent, which was the best after the historic season of IPL 2016. However, his performance in the T20 World Cup was average, but who cares, when he made India champion by playing the match in the final!
After this, Kohli retired from T20 International. Now he has a chance to show his strength only in RCB jersey to prove himself this season. For the first time in his career, such an opportunity has come when he will play only franchise cricket without the responsibility of a national team.
How will Kolkata pitch for today?
The history of the Eden Gardens ground is that the batsmen get a lot of help here. However, initially bowlers can also get some help from the pitch. Any captain wins the toss on this ground and decides to bowl first, because the runchase here is quite easy. A score above 200 runs can prove to be a match winning score.
