Carried his Bat Through

Kohli remained not out on 100 scored off 63 balls in his team’s score of 180/2. But his effort went in vain as Lions chased down the target with 2 wickets and 3 balls to spare.

108 not out versus Rising Pune Supergiant

On May 7, 2016, RCB faced Rising Pune Supergiant who batted first and scored 191/6. Kohli shared a 94-run opening stand with Rahul as he scored an unbeaten 108 off 58 balls to take his team home with 7 wickets and 3 balls to spare.

The Highest Partnership for any Wicket in the IPL

Kohli scored 109 from 55 balls to register his third ton of the season. Kohli and De Villers got together in a second-wicket stand of 229, setting a record for the highest ever partnership for any wicket in the IPL.

Another Match-winning Knock

But after Gayle was out in the 11th over, Kohli went on the rampage, helping to add 52 more runs in the next four overs before he was out. In reply KXIP could manage only 120/9 in 14 overs rendering RCB the winners by 82 runs (D/L method).

100 versus Kolkata Knight Riders

On 19 April 2019, KKR hosted RCB at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. Batting first, RCB scored 213/4 in their allotted 20 overs, to which Kohli contributed 100 from 58 balls. When KKR replied, they fell tantalisingly short, after being restricted to 203/5.
