Former RCB skipper Virat Kohli has hit his second consecutive IPL hundred in the ongoing game against Gujarat Titans. In the previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he hit his first hundred in the tournament after 2019. In the ongoing game, Kohli continued from where he left off. However, the biggest challenge was for him that his side was batting first after losing the toss.

The team has a great start, thanks to skipper, Faf du Plessis (28), and Kohli scored 67 runs for the first wicket. However, the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik, and Mahipal Lomror failed with the bat. On the other hand, Michael Bracewell (26) but couldn’t go on for much longer. However, thanks to the former RCB skipper’s seventh IPL hundred, the team scored 197/5. Meanwhile, former Pakistan speedster, Mohammad Amir praised Kohli and has attracted mixed reactions.

I think I am playing my best T20 cricket again: Virat Kohli

“We would have taken that with both hands once we were five wickets down through the middle overs with Anuj as the last recognised batsman left. We pretty much pulled things back nicely towards the end. We targeted 190 when we lost five, but getting close to 200 is a very competitive score and a winnable score for me. Teams have not been able to chase here in the recent past. It’s upon the bowlers now to execute the plans and have a crack at them. I felt great. Lot of people think that my T20 cricket is declining,

“I don’t feel like that at all. I think I am playing my best T20 cricket again. I’m just enjoying myself. This is how I play T20 cricket, I look to hit gaps, hit a lot of boundaries and then the big ones towards the end if the situation allows me to. You have to read situations and rise up to the occasion when the situation demands. I feel really good with my game at the moment and how I’m batting.
