Virat Kohli was recently playing in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League before RCB had to take an exit after the conclusion of the league stage. The star batter had a terrific season with the bat as he scored 639 runs in 14 matches with an average of 53.25, it also included 6 fifties and two astonishing centuries.

The former Indian and RCB skipper not only became the first batter to complete 7000 runs in the cash-rich league but also surpassed his former teammate Chris Gayle to become the player with the most IPL centuries, taking his tally up to 7.

However, he couldn’t lead his team to the playoffs after suffering a loss against defending champions, Gujarat Titans in the final league stage match and finished on the 6th spot in the IPL 2023 points table.
