Virat Kohli(RCB)becomes IPL's Highest Ever Scorer
Virat Kohli smashed an unprecedented fourth century of the 2016 Indian
Premier League (IPL) season 09 -- despite nursing a finger injury -- to
become the tournament's highest ever run-scorer.
Virat Kohli, who batted with nine stitches after splitting the webbing in his left hand in the previous game, bludgeoned 113 runs off 50 balls to reach 4,002 runs in the Twenty20 competition.
Virat Kohli surpassed Indian batsman Suresh Raina's record of 3,985 runs as he led the Royal Challengers Bangalore to another crushing win against Kings XI Punjab in the Match 50 of the 2016 VIVO IPL Season 09 on Wednesday May 18,2016
The India test captain put together a 147-run opening partnership with powerful Jamaican Chris Gayle (73).
RCB piled up 211 for three in the game, which was cut to 15 overs a side because of rain.
Virat Kohli also became the highest run-getter in a single season, and he now stands at 865 runs in 13 games.
Virat Kohli is the first batsman to hit four tons in a single T20 season, which, along with five half-centuries, has taken his average to 86.50 in this year's competition.
