Royal Challengers Bengaluru batting maestro Virat Kohli clinched the Orange Cap for the second time in his career after amassing 741 runs in IPL 2024. The star batter was in sublime form throughout the tournament and played a pivotal role in RCB's turnaround in the second half of the season to qualify for the playoffs. He displayed consistency and at the same time batted with an aggressive approach this season and finished with a strike rate of 154.69.

However, he failed to guide his team to the IPL glory as RCB were knocked out after suffering defeat to Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders added another title to their cabinet and became the three-time IPL champions, decimating the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets in a rather one-sided final on Sunday.

Kohli had an incredible season with the bat as he silenced his critics by adapting the attacking approach with the bat in the middle overs. He was criticised for his below-par strike rate against the spinners but he decided to up the ante in the second half and added slog sweep to his arsenal to counter them and maintain a healthy scoring rate.

He scored a century and five half-centuries in the 2024 campaign. The 35-year-old also became the third player to win the Orange Cap on multiple occasions.
