Former cricketers, including Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, sang high praise for Kohli after his stunning knock.
“It was evident that this would be Virat’s day from the very first ball when he played that cover drive.
Virat and Faf both looked in total control, they not only played many big shots but also ran rather well between the wickets to build a successful partnership.
186 wasn’t a big enough total for the way they both batted”, tweeted Sachin.
Earlier in the match, Heinrich Klaasen stole the show with his maiden IPL century, powering SRH’s total to 186/5. Klaasen’s impressive innings saw him score 104 runs off only 51 balls, featuring eight fours and six sixes.
