IPL 2024: Virat Kohli's Unbeaten 113 Lifts Royal Challengers Bengaluru To 183/3
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Talismanic batter Virat Kohli brought out his vintage self to slam his eighth Indian Premier League (IPL) century and ninth overall in T20 cricket to lift Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a competitive 183/3 in 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Saturday evening.
Kohli was pristine in hitting 12 fours and four sixes to make an unbeaten 113 off 72 balls, also his third century in his last seven IPL innings and first of the ongoing season, to level his highest score in the competition. He went hard in scoring against pace, making 67 off 39 balls while accumulating 46 off 33 balls against spin.
Kohli hit almost 62% runs of RCB’s total, while the rest of the batters made 59 runs from 48 balls, to give his team a real chance in defending the total on a pitch which he described as ball holding up a bit. Interestingly, Kohli’s 67-ball ton is the joint-slowest in IPL, levelling with a hundred made by Manish Pandey in same number of balls against DC in 2009.
