At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, Virat Kohli took 39 balls to reach his fifty and brought up his eighth IPL century in 67 balls on his way to making 113 not out in 72 balls, laced with 12 fours and four sixes. Kohli’s 67-ball ton is the joint-slowest century in IPL, levelling with a hundred made by Manish Pandey in the same number of balls against DC in 2009, which reignited the debate about him playing with a lower strike rate on social media.
