Meanwhile, former RCB skipper Virat Kohli completed yet another century in IPL 2023. To note, this was Kohli’s second conceutive century in IPL 2023. “We would have taken that with both hands once we were 5 wickets down, and Anuj was the recognized batter left. We targeted 190 when we lost 5, but close to 200 is a good score and its upon the bowlers to execute the plans and have a crack at them,” Kohli said after his mammoth innings.
