On Saturday, Virat Kohli reached his ninth IPL century in 67 balls, which was also the league’s joint-slowest century ever.During their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday, April 6, at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals posted an eye-catching response on social media. While RR was far from out of the match, the hosts appeared well-positioned to inflict RCB their third straight defeat of the current campaign. Nonetheless, it appeared as though Virat Kohli, who achieved the second-lowest century in IPL history, was the focus of the tweet.
Even though every team scored a record 277 runs in the first eighteen matches of the 2024 Indian Premier League, one thing was conspicuously absent: a century. As he hit his eighth career century in the history of the league on Saturday, Kohli—who has been back to his devastating best in the IPL since the incredible 2016 season—became the first centurion of the season and the most successful batter in league history.
However, Kohli struck the century in 67 balls, which is tied for the shortest in IPL history. Kohli was also a part of a 1250-run opening stand with Faf du Plessis. In a game against the now-defunct Deccan Chargers in 2008, Manish Pandey had recorded that precise figure.
