Chris Gayle holds this record too for his monumental 175-run knock against Pune Warriors India (PWI) in 2013.

Considering that Kohli comes out to bat at number three and sometimes even number four, it is highly unlikely that he would be able to surpass this record which looks set to stand for a long long time.

Of late, Kohli has also opened an innings for the Bengaluru-based franchise.

Kohli’s penchant of taking his time early on will once again stop him from breaking the record of highest strike rate in an innings where the batsman has scored at least 25 runs.

The record is currently held by Chris Morris who had blasted 38 runs off just nine balls, equating to a strike rate of 422.22. Morris blasted four fours and three sixes in his sensational knock.

1. Most sixes in an innings:

Chris Gayle holds this record too. The giant Jamaican had hit a staggering 17 sixes during his 175-run knock.

Virat Kohli, who is not very famous for his six-hitting exploits, will find it tough to break this record too.

Till now, the most number of sixes Kohli has struck in an innings is just 8 which pretty much makes it clear that he is unlikely to surpass this record.
