    ‘Coming Back From Retirement’: Chris Gayle Jokes As Virat Kohli Scores His 7th IPL Century

    Virat Kohli left the M. Chinnaswamy crowd in awe of his fabulous innings, which saw him register his second consecutive Indian Premier League century on Sunday. The 34-year-old completed his century against Gujarat Titans off just 60 balls and shattered the IPL record books. The former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper became the leading century scorer in the marquee T20 league by registering his 7th century, which is one more than Chris Gayle.

    Meanwhile, after Virat Kohli’s unbeaten century lifted Royal Challengers Bangalore to a score of 197/5 in the first innings, Gayle appeared on Jio Cinema’s mid-innings show and shared his thoughts. He hailed Kohli for his dominating knock, while hilariously claiming he will come out of retirement to reclaim the record of scoring the most IPL centuries. Kohli earlier hit a century against Sunrisers Hyderabad to match Gayle’s tally of 6 IPL hundreds.

    “I will see you next year Virat”
    “Never doubt Virat Kohli. Fantastic innings, well played, you know, he has put his team in a winning position. Virat and Faf batted really well, but it was all about Virat Kohli… Fantastic innings by Virat, he has passed the Universe Boss. I am coming back out of retirement and I will see you next year Virat,“ Gayle said on Jio Cinema.

    Shubman Gill follows Virat Kohli’s footsteps to register 2nd straight IPL century
    Kohli became the third-ever player in IPL’s history to register consecutive hundreds, however, another Indian batsman spoiled RCB’s chances of qualifying for the IPL 2023 Playoffs. Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill took Gujarat Titans through to the win by smashing a century in 52 balls. Interestingly, this is Gill’s second consecutive IPL century as he earlier smashed 101 off 58 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

    With the win, GT finished the league stage of IPL 2023 with a total of 20 points. On the other hand, the loss meant RCB had only 14 points to their credit and were eliminated from the competition. Having beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the after noon game on Sunday, Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians sealed the final spot for the playoffs.

  • Virat Kohli unfollowed Sourav Ganguly on Instagram: Report

    Virat Kohli unfollowed Sourav Ganguly on Instagram: Report

    New Delhi (IANS) | Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batsman and former India captain Virat Kohli has reportedly unfollowed Delhi Capitals (DC) mentor and former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Instagram. Earlier on Saturday, RCB defeated DC by 23 runs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. During that time Saurabh Ganguly was avoiding shaking hands with Kohli.

    In a video circulating on social media from Saturday’s game, Ganguly was seen stepping out of line to avoid shaking hands with Kohli during the handshake.

    Earlier, Kohli has tendered his resignation as India’s T20 captain. Kohli was then dropped as the captain of the ODI team during Ganguly’s tenure as the BCCI president.

    Kohli then made a surprising revelation at a press conference during India’s tour of South Africa in 2021 that there was no communication between him and the selection committee about the change in ODI leadership and he was asked to leave just minutes before the selection meeting for the Test series. It was reported hours ago that the selectors had decided that he would not be the captain.

    Kohli had refuted Ganguly’s statement and said that the selectors had already informed him about the change on the captaincy issue.

  • Hardik Pandya Completely Ignores Virat Kohli, Video Goes Viral

    Hardik Pandya Completely Ignores Virat Kohli, Video Goes Viral

    Hardik Pandya, who was the stand-in captain for India in the 1st ODI against Australia, ignored Virat Kohli during a field-setting discussion in the match. The visuals suggest Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Kuldeep Yadav were contemplating a field placement, and seemingly upon not reaching an agreement, captain Pandya took matters in his own hand to guide the fielder to move and take the position. Kohli seemingly wasn’t pleased with Pandya’s decision.

    It was the 21st over of the game, and a new batter had just come in in the form of Josh Inglis. Australia were 139 for 3 and the bowl was in the hand of Kuldeep Yadav. Before delivering the ball, Yadav saw Kohli and Pandya talk about a field placement. While Kohli was pointing toward a direction where the fielder was needed, Pandya apparently did not take notice of Virat and placed the fielder where he felt was necessary. Here’s the clip of the episode.

    IND vs AUS 1st ODI: Fans not pleased with Hardik’s attitude towards Kohli
    Some of the fans were not pleased with the action of Hardik Pandya and took to Twitter to criticise the all-rounder. Some saw this as disrespect, whereas some termed Pandya as “arrogant”. Here are a few of the many reactions by fans.

    Ind vs Aus 1st ODI: Match summary
    India’s stand-in captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and put Australia in to bat in the day-night game. Batting first, Australia did not get the best of starts as Travis Head fell early after adding just 5 runs on the board. Following the wicket, the Australian innings settled with Mitchell March and Steve Smith showcasing risk-free cricket and scoring at the run rate of above 5.

    At the score of 72, Ravindra Jadeja got the wicket of Steve Smith and broke the partnership that was beginning to look dangerous. Smith’s wicket brought Marnus Labuschagne to the crease. Labuschagne and Marsh continued the flow of runs and built a quick 50-run stand, however, soon after, Marsh, who was going strong, fell for 81. After that, Australia lost its way and lost wickets at regular intervals. From 139 for 3, Australia’s innings fell apart and ended at a meagre 188 runs after 35.4 overs.
