With his maiden hundred in IPL 2019 – a round 100, off just 58 balls, with 9 fours and 4 sixes – Virat Kohli broke through to the top three in the runs chart. With 378 runs at a strike rate of 135, Kohli is now 9 behind KL Rahul (387). However, David Warner (450), current holder of the Orange Cap, is some distance away.
Later in the night, Andre Russell (65 in 25, 2 fours, 9 sixes) launched a characteristic onslaught. He was run out 1 short of Kohli’s tally. Russell does not hold the Orange Cap, but his strike rate (220) and six count (37) are way more than others.
AB de Villiers did not play today, while Nitish Rana’s innings was not enough to get him a place in the top ten.
