IPL 2023: Virat Kohli scores back-to-back centuries, sets record for most tons in IPL history

Virat Kohli surpassed his former Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate Chris Gayle’s record for most centuries in the Indian Premier League.

Kohli followed up his century in Hyderabad with another magnificent innings against Gujarat Titans.

While that knock came in a run-chase, Kohli’s seventh century was a stunning innings in a must-win match for RCB. While he was off to a flying start, he had to check himself as wickets fell around him. He then exploded at the back-end once again. His century came at the start of the final over of the innings.

The former RCB captain finished unbeaten on 101* off 61 balls. RCB finished with 197/5 in 20 overs.

Kohli became the first batter to score two centuries in the ongoing season of IPL. And only the third batter to score consecutive centuries in IPL.
