During the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), former RCB skipper Virat Kohli gave a sheer testament to his prowess with an impeccable one-handed six. 

The incident happened on the first delivery of the seventh over bowled by PBKS debutant Vidhwath Kaverappa. 

Virat effortlessly dispatched the one-handed sixer over the mid-off region. The shot easily cleared the ropes as Kohli once again flaunted his diverse array of shots in his repertoire. 

Kohli, who was dropped twice throughout his innings, went on to make a notable contribution and fell just shy of a century on 92 runs off 47 deliveries, striking at an impressive rate of 195.74.
