Virat Kohli scored his seventh IPL hundred during a match against Gujarat Titans at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Despite a 55-minute delay due to rain, Kohli hit an unbeaten 101 off 61 balls and mesmerized everyone with his magical bottom-handed shots, controlled footwork and usage of wrists to hit 13 fours and a six at a strike-rate of 165.6. He received a standing ovation from the crowd as he went off the field.
Kohli led Bangalore’s recovery by cutting wide of cover and square-driving with perfection off Mohit for a brace of fours in the 16th over. He welcomed Dayal by swivelling hard over deep mid-wicket for six, before clipping him for four. Kohli flicked sweetly and pulled off Shami for a brace of fours, before reaching his century off 60 balls in the final over.
During the match, Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, was seen cheering for him from the stands and gave him a flying kiss for his hard-fought innings. The moment was captured in a viral video.
