Royal Challengers Bengaluru veteran Virat Kohli has added another feather to his illustrious cap as he registered a massive record during his team’s win over Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Sunday, April 13.
Kohli slammed an unbeaten fifty as he led RCB chase down 174 with ease alongside Devdutt Padikkal with nine wickets in hand. Kohli hit his 100th fifty in T20 cricket and has become the first Indian player to slam 100 half-tons in the format. He is only the second, after David Warner, to get to a triple-digit mark of half-tons in the shortest format.
Most fifties in T20 cricket:
1 – David Warner: 108 fifties
2 – Virat Kohli: 100 fifties
3 – Babar Azam: 90 fifties
4 – Chris Gayle: 88 fifties
5 – Jos Buttler: 86 fifties
RCB made light work of the hosts RR as they continued their brilliant record away from home. RCB have now won all four of their matches on the road and have two defeats at home. Coming to the match, the RCB bowlers did good work with the ball in conditions that seemed two-paced, especially when the bowlers were using a change of pace. Four of the six bowlers used by the hosts bagged a wicket each as RR were finding it tough to find their groove. Yashasvi Jaiswal played a strong knock of 75 from 47 balls as he slammed his second fifty-plus score of the season.
