People had written off?Royal Challengers Bengaluru?(RCB) after they lost seven of their first eight games in IPL 2024. However, RCB made a remarkable comeback, defeating Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs in their final league game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday to qualify for the playoffs. Now, RCB Captain Virat Kohli's "one-percent chance" video is going viral for all the right reasons.
In the video from earlier, Kohli is seen telling youngsters: "There is a one percent chance, and sometimes that chance is good enough. But what matters is what you think about that one percent. Are you willing to give absolutely everything that you have to make that one into 10 and then grow that 10 into 30? Eventually something magical might come out of it."
Here's the video a fan had reposted:

Continuing as the league's top run-scorer, Kohli's 29-ball 47 in RCB¡¯s 27-run win over CSK on Saturday brought his IPL 2024 total to an impressive 708 runs in 14 innings.
RCB have found themselves in this situation many times before¡ªneeding a win in their last league match to make it to the knockouts.?
This time, they were asked to bat first, posting a formidable 218 and needing to win by at least 18 runs to eliminate CSK.?Blazing starts from Kohli and du Plessis, along with key cameos from Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green, set the stage.
CSK came within touching distance, needing 10 runs off the last two balls to qualify, with Ravindra Jadeja on strike.?
However, Yash Dayal's two off-pace length balls denied Jadeja and CSK, despite a massive six hit by MS Dhoni on the first ball of the final over.
Virat Kohli was nearly in tears, Faf du Plessis couldn't contain his joy, and MS Dhoni was nowhere to be seen after the game.?
It all summed up a crazy night in Bengaluru, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their sixth game on the trot in IPL 2024, knocking out Chennai Super Kings and securing a spot in the playoffs.
