In front of a domestic crowd, Kohli set his way in the record book, usually with crisp six, waiting for fans.
Most limitations in IPL:
- 1001 – Virat Kohli
- 920 – Shikhar Dhawan
- 899 – David Warner
- 885 – Rohit Sharma
More than 8,190 IPL runs in his name, Kohli’s landmark further strengthened his position as an undisputed king of continuity in the history of the tournament.
Although this happiness was short-lived because Kohli was dismissed for 22 runs off 14 balls by young leg-spinner Vipraj Nigam, it was a knock in which it was enough to show why he had a force at the top of the order.
The delivery of the Nigam, a teasing leg-break, wooed Kohli in a drive, resulting in a stunning catch by Mitchell Starc for a long time, pacifying the electrified Chinnaswamy crowd every moment.
Earlier, DC captain Axar Patel won the toss and opted for bowling first.
Delhi, unbeaten in the tournament so far, made a surprising change, which brought to FAF du Plessis for Sameer Rizvi.
On the other hand, RCB got stuck with a frequent Xi as captain Rajat Patidar emphasized the importance of the victory of the house and the speed of construction.
RCB batsman Rajat Patidar said in the toss, “We preferred to chase, but the surface seems difficult, we put a good clan and defend it. I always return my tendency, but I also plan. Also it is important to win the house matches, it is important for speed,” RCB batter Rajat Patidar said that the toss said.
