Virat Kohli previously claimed plenty of records be it in IPL or global cricket and on Thursday the Royal Challengers Bangalore player added another to his rich rundown.
Kohli turned into the third player to hit 600 fours throughout the entire existence of the Indian Chief Association. He did so in the IPL 2023 match against Punjab Kings at the IS Bindra Stadium of the Punjab Cricket Association in Mohali.
After hitting five boundaries in his 59-run knock off 47 balls, which also included a six, the former RCB captain now has a total of 603 fours in 229 matches.
PBKS commander Shikhar Dhawan sits on the rundown with 730 fours of every 210 matches followed by Delhi Capitals captain David Warner (608 fours out of 167 games).
In terms of the match, Punjab’s bowlers put up a strong fight to keep RCB at 174/4 after they were 91/0 at the halfway point.
Subsequent to being placed into bat, Kohli and Faf du Plessis got off to a splendid beginning and added 137 for the initial wicket. Despite his injury, Du Plessis batted exceptionally well, scoring 84 runs off 56 balls.
The 34-year-old also provided answers to numerous difficult questions, such as his favorite IPL opponent and the greatest all-rounder.
However, his picks for the IPL’s GOATs are drawing a lot of attention on social media. Even though he played with some of the best players in the game, including MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Chris Gayle, David Warner, and many others, Kohli still thinks that AB de Villiers and Lasith Malinga are the real GOATs of the money-rich league.
“It’s a tough one. I think for me it’s between AB De Villiers and Malinga”
Virat replied when he was asked to name the GOAT of IPL on JioCinema.
My favorite opponent is Chennai Super Kings: Kohli, the top-order batter, also stated that Chennai Super Kings are his favorite competition team. According to Kohli, playing against the four-time champions is always exciting because of their large fan base.
“I would say Chennai due to its big fan base. It is exciting,”
Virat Kohli stated.
Shane Watson was also named by the cricketer as the competition’s best all-rounder. Notably, the former Australia cricketer has participated in the competition for 145 matches and has scored 3874 runs while also taking 92 wickets for 7.93 runs per game. He had an enormous impact in assisting Chennai Super Lords with winning the IPL prize in 2021 and the 41-year-old has likewise played under Virat Kohli before.
Interestingly, Virat ranked Ambati Rayudu as the competition’s most underrated cricketer. At a strike rate of 127.44, the 37-year-old has scored 4264 runs in 193 games. Despite playing for Chennai Super Kings, he has yet to demonstrate his class in the 16th tournament.
