Kohli Boasts Six-Hitting Prowess to Gayle, Jokes about ‘Impact Substitute’ Role

Virat Kohli’s impressive performance in the IPL 2024 Playoffs has led to a memorable exchange with IPL legend Chris Gayle. After guiding his team, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), to victory against Chennai Super Kings, Kohli joked about his six-hitting prowess in front of Gayle, who was present in the stands. Kohli proudly declared that he had hit 37 sixes this season, a record that was later surpassed by Abhishek Sharma. Despite this, Kohli’s impressive tally remains a testament to his continued dominance in the tournament. The moment was captured in a video that has gone viral on social media, showcasing the camaraderie between the two batting greats. Kohli also playfully urged Gayle to return to RCB next year as an ‘Impact Substitute’, a new rule introduced in IPL 2024 that allows teams to replace a player during the game.
