Virat Kohli Breaks Gayle’s Glorious IPL Record With Magnificent Century Vs GT

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s star batter Virat Kohli broke former teammate Chris Gayle’s long-standing Indian Premier League record, smashing his seventh century in the league on Sunday night.

Kohli played a crucial knock in RCB’s must-win game against Gujarat Titans in Bengaluru, reaching his three-figure mark in xx balls; this was Kohli’s second-successive ton in the season.

The 34-year-old batter had played a 100-run knock in the side’s previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad as well.

Chris Gayle had smashed his sixth and final century in the league in the 2018 edition of the tournament, when he was still representing the Royal Challengers. Interestingly, Kohli’s last century in the tournament before this season had come in 2019.
