Virat Kohli vs Gujarat Lions in 2016
9 out of 10 people would go for Virat Kohli if asked about their favourite player of this generation. The man from Delhi loves to play in any of the formats of the game with the same enthusiasm. He had a tremendous IPL season last year where he ended the tournament as a leading run-scorer with 973 runs. The Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper hit four centuries in the season and was the hot favourite to win the title, but David Warner’s side was a bit better on the day of Finals.
Virat Kohli’s one of the four centuries he had in the last season has been named in this list. His 100 off 63 balls against Gujarat Lions was a terrific innings including 11 fours and 1 maximum.
Kohli after winning the toss opted to bat first at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Shane Watson, who opened the batting with him in the absence of Chris Gayle, got out in the 2nd over of the match. The Indian run-machine had a 51-run stand with AB De Villiers before Pravin Tambe removed ABD for 20.
After that, skipper Kohli was joined by KL Rahul and the duo added 121 runs in the next 12 overs. Virat Kohli completed his century on the last ball of the innings by hitting a boundary. On the other hand, the power-packed century went in vain as Gujarat’s Lions were on fire including Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith. They chased down the target with three balls to spare.
