Virat Kohli has scored 3 half-centuries in this season of IPL
New Delhi. In the current season of IPL, when Virat Kohli came under the target of experts on a slow half-century after David Warner, his answer was that he bats looking at the conditions. It is not difficult for him to bat at a strike rate of 230. After this statement of Virat, the discussion started whether Kohli will leave behind the big record of the league this season?
Chris Gayle, who is remembered as the most successful batsman in T20 format, has scored 6 centuries in IPL. He is currently on top in terms of most centuries in the league. However, Virat Kohli and Jos Buttler are just a step behind them. King Kohli is looking in great touch in IPL 2023 and Jos Buttler is evergreen. Since, Universe Boss Chris Gayle is no longer in the league, it is up to both Kohli and Butler to match or surpass Gayle in this important matter.
Have rooted five-five centuries
Virat Kohli and Jose Butler have so far scored 5-5 centuries in IPL. As far as form is concerned, both the batters are around. In such a situation, apart from the fans, it is easy to raise the question among the cricket experts that who will match Gayle first? No record in cricket is forever, it has to be broken one day. Lucknow captain Rahul destroyed Chris Gayle’s record of completing the fastest 4000 runs in his innings against Punjab. In such a situation, expectations from Virat Kohli and Jose Butler have increased even more.

Jos Buttler’s strike rate is 163 in this season of IPL, whereas Virat Kohli has scored runs at a strike rate of 147. Butler has 204 runs in his account, then Kohli has scored 10 more runs than him i.e. 214 runs. After the centuries of Harry Brook and Venkatesh Iyer, the wait is now for the next century in IPL. If it comes out of the bat of Virat Kohli or Jose Butler, then it will be a record century. Virat Kohli scored four centuries in IPL 2016. After this he scored a century in 2019. At the same time, Jose Butler scored four centuries in the last season of IPL. In 2021, he scored a century. Virat Kohli has ended his century drought in International T20, ODI and Test cricket, now it is the turn of IPL.
