In 9 innings so far, he has scored 379 runs at 54.14 average and a strike rate of 165.50. He has scored 3 half-centuries as well.Kohli’s form is crucial for RCB. With 6 wins in 9 games, the defending champions are seated at the second spot on the points table. At this rate, they are most likely to finish in the top 2.However, the tournament is still long, and RCB cannot take any game for granted, as the competition is only going to get tougher in the next couple of weeks.That being said, RCB will next face LSG on May 7 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. This will be an opportunity for RCB to get 2 easy points against a dispirited Super Giants squad who are struggling at the bottom of the points table.LSG are more or less out of the playoffs but they can spoil RCB's party.Also Read - Virat Kohli’s Extreme Critic Gives Vaibhav Sooryavanshi A Brutal Reality Check
