IPL 2023: Anushka Sharma sends flying kisses as Virat Kohli smashed record 7th hundred | Video

Xtra Time Web Desk: Virat Kohli was back at his best in the ongoing IPL 2023 as he smashed back-to-back hundreds in the game against Gujarat Titans at M Chinnaswamy stadium on Sunday night. Kohli scored his 7 th hundred in IPL, surpassing the six centuries scored by Chris Gayle. There was quite an emotional moment in the stands as Virat’s better half Anushka Sharma was seen sending flying kisses.

Virat’s knock was studded with 13 hits to the fence and one massive six. It was Kohli’s power packed knock that powered RCB to 197 runs in the must win game to stay in PlayOffs race.

Virat was at his vintage best in the ongoing edition of IPL much like how he batted in IPL 2016. He picked it up right where he left in the previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Having scored a 100 off 63 in that game, Kohli pulled off a similar against Gujarat Titans at his beloved Chinnaswamy track, reaching the triple-figure mark in 60 balls. No other batter scored more than 30 in that innings with Faf du Plessis standing as the next best scorer with a knock of 28.

On reaching his hundred, Virat prefered to have a low key celebration as he knew there was a job still at hand. But Anushka at the stabds was ecstatic at her husband’s performance as she blew multiple flying kisses.

Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya also walked up to Kohli and showed a nice gesture by hugging him on the magnificent feat.
