Former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli hogged the limelight with yet another stupendous batting performance in the last night’s encounter against Gujarat Titans at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The right-handed batsman absolutely changed the complexion of the game by beefing up the team’s total. He scored his seventh IPL century and surpassed Chris Gayle‘s overall tally of six tons.
Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 101 where he struck 13 fours and a six during his stay at the crease. Besides that, he was indeed busy taking singles and twos in his innings and delivered an immense work rate.
Sanjay Bangar provides update after Virat Kohli sustains knee niggle against GT
During Gujarat Titans’ run-chase, when the game was heading towards the climax, Virat Kohli sustained a knee niggle while taking a catch. He took a catch to dismiss Vijay Shankar but felt uncomfortable at the same time.
He was then replaced by Prabhudessai as a substitute. The fans were really concerned about the status of Kohli’s injury. After the game, RCB head coach, Sanjay Bangar provided a major update on Virat Kohli.
He further added that Kohli had a niggle but there is nothing really serious. It was indeed a huge relief to Indian cricket fans as they would want the superstar to make his presence count for the WTC Final against Australia.
The highly-anticipated clash is expected to kick off at The Kennington Oval in London on June 7. Talking about the game, Royal Challengers Bangalore posted a challenging total of 197/5 in their quota of 20 overs.
In response, Gujarat Titans chased down the target in 19.1 overs, courtesy of tremendous batting performances from Shubman Gill and Vijay Shankar. The duo added a match-winning 123-run stand for the second wicket.
Shubman Gill top-scored with 103 off 52 balls with the help of 5 fours and 8 sixes whereas Vijay Shankar score a decent half-century.
