Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Virat Kohli smashed his ninth IPL century against Kolkata Knight Riders in Raipur on Wednesday night. Kohli also became the fastest to cross 14,000 runs in T20s in the process.
Kohli had been under a bit of pressure before today’s match after registering back to back ducks but against KKR tonight, the 37-year-old looked in sublime touch from ball one.
Kohli finished with 105* off 60 balls, smashing 11 fours and three sixes in his innings to help RCB chase down 192 against Kolkata Knight Riders.
This was Kohli’s second century against KKR, and his first since 2024.
The ton also takes Kohli back into the top five of the IPL 2026 Orange Cap standings. He currently has 484 runs at 53.77 in this tournament.
Kohli also became just the sixth batter to cross 14,000 runs after Alex Hales, Kieron Pollard, David Warner, Jos Buttler, and Chris Gayle.
