Anushka Sharma’s stunning response and Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya’s incredible gesture came after that knock.
Virat Kohli is making everyone question whether it is truly 2016 once more. Regarding Kohli’s strike rate and whether he still fits the modern T20 batting, there was criticism throughout IPL 2023.
“Never doubt Kohli”, Chris Gayle once said. As Royal Challengers Bangalore desperately needed his help on Sunday in the race for the final playoff spot.
Hardik’s amazing gesture after Kohli slams back-to-back IPL centuries as Anushka Sharma blows multiple kisses.

Kohli accomplished a similar feat against Gujarat Titans at his favorite Chinnaswamy track. Scoring 100 off 63 balls, reaching the triple-figure mark in just 60 balls.
In contrast to his celebration against SRH, Kohli had a modest celebration . When he reached the mark in the final over. He was aware that there was still work to be done.
However, Anushka was overjoyed and gave Kohli several kisses. Hardik approached Kohli in the meantime to give him a hug. And to congratulate him on the amazing achievement.
The statistic that stood out was that it was Kohli’s seventh century in his IPL career. The most ever by a batter in the tournament.
Kohli joined Shikhar Dhawan as the second Indian batter. After him to score back-to-back tons in the IPL and third overall with Jos Buttler. He passed Chris Gayle, a former teammate.
With a 67-run opening stand that was scripted by Kohli and Faf before Rashid Khan. Noor Ahmed orchestrated the top-order collapse. RCB got off to a promising start thanks to their aggressive start against GT.
Michael Bracewell then gave Kohli some competent assistance. But the New Zealand batsman’s innings only lasted for 16 balls and 26 runs. As RCB finished with 197 for five, it was ultimately all Kohli’s doing.
“We would have grabbed that with both hands once we were five wickets down in the middle overs and Anuj was the only recognizable batsman left”.
Near the end, we pretty much successfully reversed course. When we lost five, our goal was 190; however, getting close to 200 is a very competitive score and one I can win”.
“Teams have recently had trouble chasing here. The bowlers now have the responsibility of carrying out the strategies and taking a shot at them”, Kohli said during the mid-innings conversation.
