RCB vs KKR: Virat Kohli's BREATHTAKING shot has Starc shocked, Bengaluru crowd on their feet

IPL 2024: The Bengaluru crowd came to see their favourite player Virat Kohli in action and they sure were treated to a brilliant shot in RCB vs KKR match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Kohli opened the innings for RCB after KKR elected to bowl and he looked at his absolute best from the very start. 

Despite Faf du Plessis falling early, Kohli continued the onslaught from the other end. However, there was one trademark Kohli shot that left bowler Mitchell Starc stunned. Kohli flicked one from Starc straight into the stands. It did not even look like Kohli put any power into the shot and it was just timing that took the ball to the stands. Or it was pure magic. See the shot to have your own view on it.
