Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their final group-stage fixture of the IPL 2024 season at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, May 18.

With both teams eyeing a spot in the playoffs, this match is crucial. RCB, currently seventh on the points table, must win by 18 runs, regardless of whether they bat or bowl first, to secure a top-four position.

Virat Kohli, the current orange cap holder, has been in stellar form, playing a pivotal role for RCB this season.  Ahead of the RCB vs. CSK match, former Indian batter Kris Srikkanth shared his thoughts on JioCinema about RCB's reliance on Kohli.

"Virat Kohli is the main guy of RCB. He is the backbone of RCB. If he doesn't fire tonight, RCB's gone." he stated.

Kohli, who has scored one century and five half-centuries this season, will need to perform at his best to ensure RCB's victory. 

With a mixed record of six wins and seven losses, RCB will be looking to Kohli to lead them to a crucial win against the five-time champions.
